Also, I'm not prepared to release 2.3.1 until the things that have regressed since previous releases are fixed.

I keep working on it when I have spare time - others are welcome and we just got a new volunteer last week...

the changelog is easy to see in jira
ie http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE? report=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project:roadmap-panel

it's not a problem of tracking the changes but to say out loud "hey,
release the plugin!"

I've noticed from the hudson way (but maybe this is the wrong way) that they
put a release when 2 or 3 bugs have been fixed.

As maven provides SNAPSHOT support this seems not required to release a plugin to allow users to get the fix. But this as the side effect that project that want to release must have all dependencies and plugins also
released.. And many user prefer to have a reproductible build.

IMHO, commiters do great work fixing issues and testing patches, but they should go a little more deeper with suggesting releases. A simple rule like "when more than N issues have been fixes OR there has been no release from X
latest weeks, prepare a new release after fixing an issue".

Surefire for example has 96 issues in Jira, so I understand this makes huge work for commiters. But there is allready 2 issues marked as CLOSED, one from april 07, latest from july. I can't think nobody worked on surefire
during 5 month !

IMHO a 2.4 (maybe 2.3.1 ?) release should be a good way to make many users happy : the ones that reported this issue, and the ones that will fall into
same situation and may duplicate the ticket.

Why not use the project wiki to create a dashboard for fixed issues, so that a new release requirement could be more visible ? I didn't found a simple
way to get Jira report a list of "closed issue since latest release".

Just my 2 cents...
