   now. The test showed that the time zones in South America and Australia
   were also affected.
   
   I think we should send out that bug list to the distributors ASAP.
   Debian Etch is already frozen. Chenthill, do you have the list ready and
   can you send it both to this list and the distributor list?
   
   My own proposal for inclusion are
 * 548268: time zone conversion incorrect
 * 546934: [Exchange Connector] contact change tracking is broken
   (required by SyncEvolution)
 * 499932: [Bug 499932] Not deleting from e-mail server after 
   specified time
  
  Frankly, I think it would be much better to do a 2.22.x release for the
  needed fix : you'll get updated translations as a bonus and
  distributions might be more willing to push it, rather than try to apply
  a list of patches.
 
 I think this should be discussed at d-d-l/release-team than lowering it
 to Evolution/any-other-project. We currently follow GNOME cycle, as you
 know. Unless we hit to a serious issue, you will be always be the
 waiting for a release, where as developers would waiting for a more
 better time to do it. 

I was just talking for this particular list of bugs, not in general.

Eog or gthumb have been doing additional releases after the .3 release
for quite some time.

You could also delegate the release process to other people who would be
willing to take care of it.

Its just not about the the 3 hour release/tarball/sanity. But the amount
of extra effort we put to review patches for stable, etc. Anyways, I
think if more and more people ask for it, lets see if we can work out a
schedule post .3.
