            The roles the contributor plays in the project. Each role is described by a
            {@code role} element, the body of which is a role name. This can also be used to
            describe the contribution.

## Changelog since v1.16.0

### Other notable changes

* Limit the body length of exec readiness/liveness probes. remote CRIs and Docker shim read a max of 16MB output of which the exec probe itself inspects 10kb. ([#82514](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82514), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))

### Bug or Regression

- Client-go: fixes potential data races retrying requests using a custom io.Reader body; with this fix, only requests with no body or with string / []byte / runtime.Object bodies can be retried ([#113933](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113933), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery]

* The 504 timeout error was returning a JSON error body that indicated it was a 500.  The body contents now correctly report a 500 error. ([#49678](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/49678), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))

- Kube-proxy service health returns http header `X-Load-Balancing-Endpoint-Weight` with number of local endpoints. The same information is still available in response body JSON `payload.LocalEndpoints`.
