Frankly I wouldn't do any better in these times.

That would be great. 

I think the most important part is to give community a sense of timing
so people know when feature freeze is coming (and get some feedback if anyone
has something in pipeline), when it's time to start translating documentation
and strings, push people to resolve outstanding bugs.

The time consuming part is going through 2.4 milestoned bugs and sort out
what is to be postponed and what is mustfix.

Technically, the procedure is described here:
https://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/ReleaseProcedure

I think that Juergen's timeline is little ambitious, on the other hand
you can always postpone the release until the its ready.

I could give helping hand with review of layout translation machinery
once the strings freeze will approach. I guess it might be best to
openly ask other devs on the list to help with sorting out the bugs in
trac and other things, so everything does not end up on your shoulders --
you have already taken stable releases under your wings.

And I wouldn't open 2.5 developing branch too soon, so all devs feel
the urge to finish 2.4 first.
But YMMV, I am not the manager for this release ;)
