It has been two weeks since the announcement of the availability of the Ganglia 3.1.0 testing tarball. Since that time, I haven't seen any reports of showstopper issues. Unless there are any objections or critical bug reports that have not yet been reported, I propose that we release the 3.1.0 tarball as first official release of the Ganglia 3.1.x series.
