[tharun208]

@rainest can you also add this commit - a953ba7 ?

and can i close the original pr ?

[tharun208]

@rainest usually feature PR's get merged to next and then to main or another way around ?. If this is documented under CONTRIBUTING.md means helpful.

[rainest]

@tharun208 feature PRs go to next, yes. It's mentioned at the end of the https://github.com/Kong/kubernetes-ingress-controller/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#finding-work section.

The only changes that go direct to main are repo metadata (CI changes and the like) and bugfixes that would be released in a patch release.

[mflendrich]

This PR is identical to #1417 and we'll need to merge just one of these (both PRs are retries of #1408)

Closing this one in favor of merging #1417 to ensure that the PR is properly attributed to @tharun208.
