Also, don't assume you need to be a committer to vote. I thought I had to be. So can any member of the community vote? How much do I need to know about the code to submit a vote? For instance, I do not know much about how federation works behind-the-scenes, but I can give my opinion on

I was under the (maybe incorrect) impression that these releases are not focused on the code per se, but rather on getting the release process right: solve copyright and licensing issues, correct packaging of third party libraries, and similar issues. If that assumption is correct, at the moment I
