[kubeflow 1.8] Manifests WG and Kubeflow 1.8

[DnPlas]

Hi @kubeflow/wg-manifests-leads

The 1.8 release team will use this tracking issue to coordinate the integration of Manifests with Kubeflow 1.8.

Please note that communications (announcements, updates, questions, follow ups, etc.) will be done through #2442 exclusively, this issue will be closed once the release team gathers the initial information from the WG.

Heads up that the proposed feature freeze is Aug 2nd, 2023, but the date is still subject to agreement and discussed here. Feel free to comment on the issue for suggestions. We will be sharing the finalised timeline before May 8th, 2023.

To prepare for the release, please provide answers to the following questions:

1. Can you share a link to all open / work in progress issues that you're expecting to include in your next version?
2. Is @kubeflow/wg-manifests-leads updated? Who would be the main point of contact of this WG and what communication channel(s) do you folks prefer (e.g. slack, email, gh issue)?
3. If you're using any of the following dependencies, could you provide the versions you'll be supporting for each dependency?

• Knative
• Istio
• Kubernetes
• Cert-Manager
• Kustomize
• Dex-auth

The release team WG liaison for Manifests is @annajung and you can keep track of high-level release updates in #2442

@DnPlas if you're okay with this, we can close this out. If there's any missing info, let me know
