The team has uploaded a new policy for django-releasers which should enable more members of the team to roll a release. I’m optimistic we’ll finally be able to get the 1.7.2 bug fix release out next week.
https://www.djangoproject.com/m/pgp/django-releasers.txt Besides the work below, I also assisted with QA and the rollout of the new djangoproject.com. I also did some investigation on 1.8 release blockers which you can find summarized in the "status of 1.8 release blockers" thread on this list.
