It was nice to have the backing of the bug fixing squad and your generous contributions in the release material write-up. Thanks to Julien Lepiller for their help and availability w.r.t. the translations. > There’s no rush, but we can already start thinking about who’s turn is > next.

I wouldn't mind to do it again; twice in a row seems like it may be a bit fresh in my mind and enable me to do more refinements to the build system. I'd also be happy to mentor someone else to try their hand at it. I feel like rotation improves our processes, especially w.r.t. to its documentation. > Note also that we were “only” 3 weeks late thanks to the hard work of > zimoun and Leo early on keeping track of everything that needed to be > addressed.

I felt less lonely :-). I've learned that producing a release can easily take 2-3 weeks even in good conditions (e.g., not many blockers to fix). I'd suggest anyone (myself included :-)) trying to meet the schedule to seriously start trying to put out RCs a month before the planned release date. Perhaps we can aim for the next release mid-September (core-updates). I'm not too sure of the status of core-updates right now, but last time I worked on it was in a rather good state. Thanks, Maxim
