This was mostly done manually (at least as far I am concerned), but here is an experiment, https://people.gnome.org/~fpeters/health/wanted-releases.html And the red modules are first targets. (this has been generated from my local clones, updated a few hours ago, if it's something we want to pursue it would be quite nice to have this automated and running on GNOME infrastructure) (the disk requirements exclude openshift).

We can of course assist in producing tarballs, just ping us. I'm a bit surprised by 1) but we could certainly automatically produce a list of maintainers / modules/ time/commits since last release, if that could be useful.

I think 1) would be useful because I have a load of modules which I am not sure if they need to follow the main GNOME release schedule. I had a nagging fear they should, but then nobody poked me about doing a release, so I forgot to check up further. As a result, a lot of my modules haven’t had releases following the schedule. (Sorry if I have been a total pain because of this.) Would such a list be useful for the release team, as a way of tracking who needs nagging? If so, then I hope producing it should not be too much of a drain on your time — if it is a drain, then you probably shouldn’t do it.

Hi, it would be nice, if anything like this will be implemented, to have the notifications on the opt-in bases. I understand the need for maintainers of tons of modules which do not receive any active development, but for me, whom has only few packages, would be the notification a simple spam and thus quite annoying thing. I'm fine the Friday notification about the following Monday release. I have also setup a calendar notifications about the releases. Just my opinion on the matter.
