To be part of the release, it is required to get the approval of image names for mirroring. 

When naming your new image, please follow the naming guidelines.

For quay.io/openshift/... images, whether they will be included in the OpenShift release payload or not, also consider consulting the OpenShift mirroring approvers, to review your name choices, before sinking significant time into work that depends on that naming.
