Myrle, If we just moved to a time-driven release cycle where we released on a monthly basis regardless of what features had been completed, I think we could ensure at least a more regular and hopefully a more frequent release process.
Would that be a good approach to try and adopt. Provided we have timely review of the incoming pull requests, we should have a steady flow of code that can gradually and regularly get released. I think moving to that monthly cycle will establish better clarity around the timing and process to the community. Such that when we announce the release branch, we can do the necessary QA and sanity checking and in parallel be prepping the PRs that will be going into next release. Nazeer, Avik, Nikhil, Vishwas and others who've been coordinating release management - is this something you think we could handle?
