My instinct was to write: "Why don't you act as our release manager then if you find this so damn important!" But reading the rest of your email I thought, I'd rather not be managed by you ;) I'm not too much into how Debian/Ubuntu work but don't they have the concept of a package maintainer who is usually not part of the software project in question, but just decides which version of the software he packages with which version of the rest? > And if we don't have a user focus, then we have no focus at all. Maybe not having focus is the next big thing. I mean, it's not that JOSM development is somehow in a crisis, or is it? Anyway we only have to stick with it another few weeks until Potlatch 2 comes out and everbody flocks to that. (That's the nice thing about versions, you can have release parties every now and then.)
