Let's take a look:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS#selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project%3Aversions-panel

3.2.1 - 4/15/2008
3.2 - 5/14/2006
3.1 - 6/28/2004

We haven't had a release in over 5 years.  The last one (which was a
point release) took two years roughly.  Again, a minor release prior
to that took almost two years as well.  We don't have a good track
record of releasing early and often.
