+1 to letting them who does the work decide when and what to release. That said, things work better when we make at least some attempt at the the tasks under "Select a Release Manager" in [1]. Its better to talk a little about the plan for a release so interested parties can weigh in before RCs are cut and VOTEs begin. Apologies if this was done for the current [functor] release and I just missed the thread.
