Some potential candidates for this role, i.e., which is pretty impressive, the fact that we have this many who could IMHO already do this from a perspective of insight, though the main problem in most/each cases is probably time:
- Antonio Vieiro - Sven Reimers - Matthias Bläsing - Junichi Yamamoto - Eric Barboni - Neil C. Smith - Thilina Ranathunga - Laszlo Kishalmi - John McDonnell - Wade Chandler There may be more and I apologize for omitting anyone else who has been involved for some time, committed quite a bit in one way or another, and has shown IMHO the technical interest needed for this. Any volunteers from the above, or someone else -- I am sure you'll be supported a lot by Emilian, who was the previous release manager, as well as myself and the rest of the community of course.
