Yeah, I'd certainly be very happy with this as well. > We are currently in a transition phase with Weston's Meson build, > autotools being just removed, so there are some tasks I think would be > good to do: > > - Copy releasing.txt from Weston to Wayland, since it documents the > autotools release process and Wayland still uses that. > > - Streamline Wayland's releasing.txt, there are bits that only ever > applied to Weston. > > - Figure out the new releasing process with Meson and document in > Weston's releasing.txt. We've never done a release from Meson before. It would also be awesome to revive the work on GitLab CI: moving Wayland to the same CI templates that Weston/libinput/etc use, enabling 32-bit builds as well as ASan/MSan/UBSan builds ... > We should also decide when the next releases will be, and check which > things to prioritise for the next Wayland and Weston releases (this is > where we/I have traditionally sucked).

Indeed. I think documenting the release process and schedule is probably a good place to start though. :) Similarly we need to figure out the same for Weston, but as noted, there's no reason to keep on tying those two together anymore.
