That's a great idea! I'll create a new thread to discuss 4.18.2.0.
Best regards,

I think it would be good to start as the RM of a minor release to better
understand the role as a RM.
Kind regards,

Hi João,
Glad to hear about your interests and I will fully support your effort to
release manage the next major release 4.20.
In fact you can also help us with 4.18.2.0 maintenance release which will
be relatively low-effort release and in doing so you can learn the
logistics of release management and access to Github and CI/CD (including
BO), learning how to update websites (project and docs) and pre/post
release work on a low-effort basis.
I like your proposed timeline, for 4.20, free by end of May, would allow
4-5 months of development work. And I think that would be beneficial for
the community to have two major releases in a year, with 4.20 release in
end ~H1 '24, possibly a 4.21 in end ~H2 '24.
I've jotted my notes on becoming a release manager here, that could help
you:

(I welcome any/all PMCs to review this)
Recently, I had also written my thoughts on growing in the community
generally: (again, PMCs are welcome to review this - for now these are just
my thoughts)

Subject: Re: 4.20 plans
Hello all,
We have quite a few new interesting features prepared for 4.20; there's
the log4j PR, that we plan on merging as soon as 4.19 is released. We
also have a few big PRs to be opened for 4.20:
- Refactoring of the quota UI;
- New feature to allow users to create custom UI themes and apply them
to domains, user accounts, and internet DNS themes that are used to
access the ACS MS;
- Differential volume snapshots/backups for KVM;
- And some more extensions that we are preparing here.
Therefore, I'd like to propose myself as the release manager of
4.20.0.0, if none objects. I'd be guided by Daniel, who has recently
been added to the PMC; any others who are willing to help would be
welcome too. Here's the rough schedule I propose:
- On the third week of May, we freeze the main branch. That means any
feature must be in by the second week of May. Only accept
critical/blocker issues until June.
- As early as possible in June, cut 4.20.0.0 RC1 and further RCs if
necessary, start/conclude vote, and finish release work.
Best regards,
João Jandre

devs,
Other than we all have great new plans for integrations and other
features for 4.20 and we have about 300 issues to solve, There are
some platform issues that need addressing. So far I can think of
- the outstanding logging PR
- java 11 is out of support and we'll need to support a higher version
I think we must address these as soon as we have a release.
Are there any other issues to address?
