Up to the person doing the job to decide. Look at past entries for example.

That is described in FOR-865 ... importance=high See also http://forrest.apache.org/procedures/release/How_to_release.html#prep which gives the URL for automatically generating an announcement. This gets hand tweaked to make the real one.

As part of the release process we need to decide the base Java version. So perhaps this will be a factor.

There are many issues that would be "nice to do". Quite some time ago we started pushing all non-essential issues over to 0.9-dev. People can still work on those if they want to. See http://forrest.apache.org/issues.html#filters FOR-unscheduled and also the 0.9 Jira Road Map. -David
