Yes you have to go to the IPMC to approve the release. From my understanding there is still some debate about the level of review that the IPMC performs. Is it purely legal checks or are there functional tests also done. I have also seen concerns raised on the general list when podlings take the vote to the general list to get the 3 required votes. Now here is where my knowledge gets a little hazy. Are all mentors on the IPMC ? If so then is it a release notification email that is sent to general giving them 72hours to point out anything that they think the mentors missed? Or have I go the wrong end of the stick here. I remember there being numerous discussions on the general list but none of the documentation seems to get updated. -- Martin Ritchie
