release two months are fine because several issues are found by 3rd
party authors. But after that a release every quarter is sufficient.

In the past, we had been striving for releases every 6 month.
This was already very difficult to achieve.

While I'm happy that Barry has automated his part to a high degree,
my part is, unfortunately, much less automated. I could personally
automate the build process a bit more, but part of it is also testing
of the installers, which is manual.

Martin, I'm keen on figuring out a way to reduce your workload, and also to coordinate releases better between us. I /think/ with timed releases I can tag a little early and give you something to work on so that the actual release is a matter of fiddling web pages and sending an announcement.
