Hello,

the LTS team would like to announce the end of Wheezy LTS. Unfortunately
I have no rights to push to the announcements repository on
salsa.debian.org but you can find my draft at

https://people.debian.org/~apo/2018-06-01-Debian-7-Long-Term-Support-reaching-end-of-life.wml

Great! I suppose you want the announcement published on 2018/06/01, can you confirm this? (And proposed time (with timezone)? Being weekday and short notice we'll do our best to try to publish/send it on time, but no guarantees).

About the content, I've just done a quick look and will full review later, but for now I think the "About/More info/Contact info" needs to be adapted (remove the debconf-related paragraphs and maybe set contact info specific for LTS? We can have a look at former LTS-related announcements for reference).

It would be great if we could release the announcement on 2018/06/01
between 10-14 UTC but it's not the end of the world if it happens a few
hours or days later. It should happen before June 17 though because
that's when we start the new LTS cycle.

Thanks. I have removed DebConf specific information now, just the usual
"About Debian", "More Information" and "Contact Information" should be
sufficient. Everything else should be in our main text. For reference
here is our last announcement:
