Chip, Would like to raise concern that even blockers are not being addressed in time for QA to run automation and move ahead with testing of features. I will post the features ( very minimal numbers ) tested so far. This is a risk unless developers take the defects seriously and fix them and let us move ahead. Blockers are being sitting there for more than 10 days without any resolution.
As for next escalation point, I would recommend to remove features where defects are not being addressed. There is no point in putting code in which is not usable and these are blocking other working features which we could not even get to.

Hi all, Friendly reminder about our schedule. Thursday is the last day of this phase of QA / bug-fix work. We defined it as: 2013-02-28 Docs Completion Target (except release notes and translations) (Docs may be included in the release after this date, after consensus on each addition that the inclusion does not reduce release quality). Release Branch moves to limited updates only (only commits allowed in would be release blockers fixes, translation updates, etc...) I'd like to get as many bugs resolved as possible (as well as ensure that the blockers that Sudha has shared this morning are addressed as quickly as possible). After Thursday, we're going to want to move to a very limited amount of change within the 4.1 branch. Given that, now's the time to knock down the blockers... but also as many of the other priority bugs as possible. If you have 4.1 bugs assigned to you, please take a moment today to try to get them resolved (or at least triaged). If you don't have any bugs assigned, then pick some of the unassigned ones! We're trying to not work like a corporate dev team, where managers assign the bugs. That means that personal initiative to pick up work and resolve issues is going to be key to getting our bug count down! Also, if we can get the DEB packaging wrapped up and in the branch by EOD Thursday, that would go a long way to ensuring that we will be working with a stable source tree for the rest of the process. (Wido / Noa: ping!) Thanks all! -chip
