We've been really crappy about keeping up on stable releases. The
biggest problem has been bug fixes sitting on master never getting
cherry picked over. Release time comes along, and either I cherry pick
57 patches over the day before the release or Jakob sends out an email
with a similar list.
I think I have a plan that will remedy this situation. Every time I
see a patch go by that is marked with the stable note (or appears to
fix a bugzilla on the stable release), I will pick it over to an
8.0-staging branch. This branch will live in my personal repo on fdo.
I will send out a weekly list with the patches on 8.0-staging that
haven't spawned any bug reports on master. If there are no objections
in, say, 24 hours, I'll merge it to the release branch. Folks can also
notify me about "bad" commits on the 8.0-staging branch at any time.
Sounds OK to me, if you don't mind the extra work. Otherwise, we
could simply post more frequent reminders about cherry-picking to the
8.0 branch and see if people get in the habit.
