Reviewing a release when you are not directly involved as a developer is
**really hard**.

As an IPMC member yourself, have you ever reviewed a release for podling you
were not involved with?  There have been release candidates for podlings other
than Bloodhound which have gone waiting.  A detailed review from you on one of
those -- with or without a vote, comprehensive or partial -- would be a
welcome contribution.

I suspect that pace is not realistic while Bloodhound remains in the Incubator
unless the podling manages to land a third core contributor who is also on the
IPMC to go with yourself and Hyrum.

That's at odds with basic, ASF-wide rules for voting on releases.
