How about the following: 1) Cut a new v1.0.x release, update the documentation at the sourceforge site, and announce on all the mailing lists that development has moved to github. 2) Announce that the v1.1.x series will be the last to support <=python-2.5, and that a v1.1.x feature freeze is about to go into effect. Once devs have the features committed that they will need with <=python-2.5, create the v1.1.x maintenance branch and cut the 1.1.0 release. 3) Merge matplotlib-py3/master into matplotlib/master, champagne and doughnuts 4?) Make v1.2.0alpha1 binaries available so bleeding edgers can help identify issues on Windows (and maybe OS X).
