[Evergreen-general] Evergreen 3.9 release schedule

[Mike Rylander]

Good afternoon, Evergreeners!

On behalf of the release team, I propose the following release process
and schedule for Evergreen 3.9:

2022-03-14 - Feedback Fest
2022-03-21 - Feature Slush and Cleanup Week 1 (contributors finish up
features after FF)
2022-03-28 - Feature Freeze and String Slush
2022-03-30 - Beta 1 Release
2022-04-04 - Bug Squashing Week
2022-04-11 - Cleanup Week 2 (committers/RMs continue BSW work)
2022-04-20 - Release Candidate and String Freeze
2022-04-27 - Final Release

As with all Evergreen releases the details are subject to change based
on events on the ground, but hopefully this schedule strikes a balance
between momentum and available release team time.

If you have features you very much want to see in 3.9 please have them
pull-requested by 2022-03-21 at the very latest, but the earlier the
better!

Thanks, all!
