Just back for vacation... and it’s great to see a shiny new release. Thank you, Michael, for getting it out of the door.
Release management is a huge task these days. A few months ago [1] we agreed a rotation of release managers for a few releases ahead. I think this is working well; it makes sure that the work is spread among several people, and it also provides an incentive to get each release out early. (If, as release manager, you procrastinate, then the task gets larger.) How do people feel the rotating release manager schedule is working out? Someone else remarked that the release notes are missing the names of non-committer contributors. I think we should edit the release notes retrospectively to include these names. Calling out new contributors makes them want to stick around, do more, and eventually earn committer status. Michael, How did you generate the release notes? It looks as if you generated them from the commit log, not the JIRA cases - which is the right thing - but somehow those names got stripped.
