Can't (realistically) commit to doing one on my own, but I'll be around
to help the process along. Appy/others, feel free to ask directly or on
list and I'll try to help out!

Hi folks!
I'm in the process of getting us a 1.2.7-RC, hopefully soon[1]. This
release is badly behind schedule. I'd very much like to get us back on
a regular cadence for our stable release line, with a goal of once a
month. Unfortunately, I'm very unlikely to have time to do release
managing after the 1.2.7 release until spring (luckily it's for
fortunate-to-me reasons).
Despite the delay in schedule on this release, generally doing a
maintenance release is relatively low effort. These kinds of
"substitute RM" situations are a great chance to get familiar with the
process while having a well-defined end point. If there's anyone who'd
like to give it a try by handling things while I'm gone, both I and
I'm sure the project community would be grateful.
To take on this particular task, one must be a committer already (due
to ASF policy). It's a great way to "act like a PMC" for those
committers who'd like to make a long term investment in HBase.
Anyone interested?
