I'd like to propose that we try to do 0.9.1 0.9.2 0.9.3 etc on a

I am the release machinery, and I can report that I have no cobwebs.
I can also report that making a release takes a minimum of three
days because of
the necessary vote and resolution, which is quite time consuming,

to keep releases moderately infrequent, within reason.
Sure thing. I suppose it's more the habit of releasing often that I'm
thinking of. There are a lot of numbers between 0.8.1 and 0.9.0 that
we didn't use. Which is probably because we were moving from Incubator
etc. I know we don't have to use them all, but releasing at minimum
once a month would be a user-friendly thing to do.
I'd go closer to a quarterly cycle. Noah linked to the Django release
procedures
which seemed like a reasonable thing to copy. A "schedule" can be
mandatory
at best though because all releases are bound by votes. A guiding
schedule is
a good thing to aim for.
