We haven't had a release from branch-1.3 for a long time and do not appear to have an active RM for it. Unless a RM for 1.3 steps forward and promises to make a release in the very near future, I propose we make one more release of 1.3, from the head of branch-1.3, and then retire the branch. If this is acceptable I can RM the final 1.3 release.
