[Replying publicly as requested by Lars]

I would be happy to do the job, so you can consider me a candidate.

Thank you for stepping up Paul. 
As no-one else has done so, I suggest we can vote: a few committers are on PTO 
and then there is Thanksgiving.
So, we should allow for 2 weeks

If no-one objects, say by Monday, can I get one of you to reply to this thread 
and change the subject to something like: "[Vote] for Paul Durrant as Release 
Manager for Xen 4.14+"

Regards
Lars

The section about release cycle in the doc is out-dated.

Let me see if I can find some copious free time to fix that section.

[Xen-devel] Call for new Release Manager for Xen 4.14+

2019-11-07 Thread Lars Kurth
Dear Community Members, 

Juergen will be stepping down as Release Manager after Xen 4.13 has been 
delivered, following the 4.11 and 4.12 release. Release managers prior to 
Juergen were Julien Grall, Konrad Wilk, Wei Liu and George Dunlap. We are 
looking for active community members to follow in previous release managers 
footsteps. I also wanted to thank Juergen for performing the role. 

We have discussed with a number of people, however Wei made the very valid 
point that we should make an announcement about the role on the list.  In terms 
of effort, the effort required prior to the release is relatively low (1-2 days 
a month), however in the last two months of the release goes up to 1-2 days per 
week. Typically release managers manage 2-3 releases.

What is involved in the role is described here: 
http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=blob;f=docs/process/xen-release-management.pandoc;h=d6abc90a0248b769161bce79e8dc6904c654904a;hb=HEAD

If you are a community member that feels the release manager role would be a 
good match for you, please contact me: also feel free to ask me or previous 
release managers any questions

Best Regards
Lars
