Yes - my thinking exactly.

I wouldn't mind that at all. In fact, we might need to distribute the
work even more in the long run once all of our subprojects start
releasing regularly.

I agree. I think it's excellent that Carsten is willing to help.
However, we have lots of subprojects that waited a long time to be
released and we need to come-up with some policies and processes for
doing so. Not a good time to rush things out of the door IMO.

I think we should start a separate thread and discuss how our
subproject release process should look like.
