I'm well aware that we were scheduled to get a 1.4.0 release out in
January. Unfortunately, other work commitments and travel have kept me
from matplotlib over recent weeks, and it doesn't look like it's going
to get much better in the short term either. If anyone wants to
volunteer to take up the release manager role this time around, I, for
one, would certainly be appreciative. But if no one else is available,
I'd be glad for any help "around the edges".
The time consuming part of making the release is triaging all of the
pending bugs and pull requests. It looks like we have 62 for 1.4.x and
another 12 on 1.3.x at the moment. Then ideally we make sure all
important changes are in What's New.
Beyond that, the release is essentially mechanical and pretty well
documented (though the new wrinkle this time around is uploading files
to PyPI since pip is no longer trusting of files on SourceForge).
