Dear Developers,
I hereby appoint the following as members of the Debian Release Team:
* Managers:
- Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)
- Niels Thykier (nthykier)
* Stable Release Managers (SRM):
- Adam D. Barratt (adsb)
- Julien Cristau (jcristau)
- Philipp Kern (pkern)
* Release Assistants:
- Andreas Barth (aba)
- Cyril Brulebois (kibi)
- Felipe Augusto van de Wiel (faw)
- Ivo De Decker (ivodd)
- Jonathan Wiltshire (jmw)
- Mehdi Dogguy (mehdi)

This represents the addition of Paul Gevers (elbrus) who will be
joining as a Release Assistant.
Any previous Release Team delegation not explicitly listed above is
revoked. The delegation is not time-limited; it will be effective
until further changes by present or future Project Leaders.
Task Description
- ----------------
The Release Team oversees and manages the releases of the testing,
stable, and oldstable distributions (aka suites).
* Release Team members decide on the release schedule (e.g. freeze
dates, release dates for stable and point releases for stable
and oldstable).
* Release Team members define the content of the suites listed above,
that is:
- They define the packages that are part of those suites. Generally,
that is achieved by deciding:
- Which issues are release-critical (RC) (ie. making the affected
packages not suitable for stable releases) usually by setting
the corresponding bug's severity to serious, grave or critical.
- Which package modifications (eg. bug fixes) are suitable for
inclusion in those suites.
- When and how updated packages migrate between suites. When
necessary, they may temporarily forbid specific uploads to
unstable in order to facilitate transitions.
- They define the architectures (ports) that are part of those
suites by deciding which issues are severe enough to prevent a
given port from being part of a stable release.
* Release Team members decide on the codenames for stable releases.
* Release Team members coordinate the work on the release notes and
have the final say on their content.
* Release Team members have the final say on the official material
for each release such as deciding which CD images are "official"
ones.
