I concur that the time-based releases most likely won't happen just based on the agreement, and that there has to be a person driving them. Perhaps, we could try this approach by finding a volunteer responsible for RM-ing the 1.11 release — for example, right after 1.10 is released. Regards, Evgeny Kotkov
