I would like us to put the 1.6.x branch into maintenance,. which means we would only fix bugs in it.
The new work would be in a 1.7.x branch. I've been in touch with Charley just a bit recently. Personally I was thinking we should have a release manager for each release to help coordinate what was and wasn't in scope for the release (and would release the gems when the release was complete.) It would probably be two different people. I've been collecting notes for a while on what I thought would be in each, and was planning on putting these on the wiki so we could discuss. I hope to get this done next week; if not then, then next week. I am off from work until Jan 3, so have some free time to work on this. If you want to get the ball rolling, you could start by making a wiki page with a release contents proposal. Thanks for taking the initiative to bring this up and offer to be the gem owner. I also have several Jira tickets than I've been meaning to follow up on. Hopefully will find the time over the holiday break.
