If you are interested in making a release, I think all that is needed is a heads-up email to the list before tagging (preferably a few days before tagging): "Hey guys. I'm considering tagging for a new release. What do you think of that? Are we stable? Should I wait for a few days while some really important change gets in? Thanks, Your Humble Volunteer RM." It doesn't have to be long-term at all - rather our OSS nature implies that we only think short-term. However, I think we should always have a rough concept of what our *next* release will have. There is a lot of parallel development going on and merely assuming that you (or code that you have written) is ready for release doesn't necessarily imply that everyone else's is. -- justin
