I think you have some strange idea of what the release process involves. The release is easy. A small project like tmux does not need more people with some sort of special release engineer hat.
What we could use is a more testing, formal or informal, in the time between releases. If we come up to release time and there are 100 open issues on GitHub, we are not going to do the release until they are looked at. Or if someone was maintaining a good test suite, we would wait until they were happy. But neither of these is the case. If those 100 issues were all opened by one person, we might want to bring them into the project. But nobody is doing that. I don't use tmux releases and I don't really want to spend my time fussing about them, but if you open good bug reports I will look at them, and if they are fixed before making it into a release... well, then releases are better. I don't think we need to discuss this any further. On Fri, Oct 14, 2016 at 12:14:16PM +0100, Nicholas Marriott wrote: > That is not how it works and you must be aware of that.
