Welcome, Jacob! Me and Dirkjan are the most recent release managers. Perhaps Dirkjan can weigh in with some of his outstanding items. I know he was planning to do some more automation work.
Our current goal is to start each release process one month after the previous release announcement. (Note: the release process itself can take anywhere from a week to several months, depending on how many bugs we hit.) We're just wrapping up the 1.5 release, so the next one should be in a month or so. That would be a great time to work side-by-side with Dirkjan and me and learn the ropes. We'd like to share the duty of performing releases with as many people as possible. Jan is the guy to speak to about QA. He has a Jenkins setup, but I think it needs some work doing before we can use it properly. So perhaps that is something you could help out with! Till might know more. CCed all the people mentioned.
