In JBIDE-22819 I created a buildflow job to orchestrate the steps involved in staging or release of jbt/ds.

However, on CCI we can now write a pipeline job [1] in groovy, which can trigger downstream builds [2] and wait for approval/input [3] before continuing. This might be an ever better visualization & control for these stages/releases.
