What I primarily need is someone to take care of the Sage Release Tour
bit of the release notes - everything else I do while I merge patches.
Then in the end it would be useful if someone does spell and fact
check the end result. Right now for example there is draft2 of the
3.1.3, 3.1.4 and 3.2 release notes at #4567 and I am sure they could
use some checking.
What is even more important is to do the work for the main features,
i.e. the Sage Release Tour in the wiki during development and not as
an afterthought. The best results there have always been had when the
patch authors did the changes themselves. It would also be great to
clean up the old release tours since many of them are rather
rudimentary.
Cheers,
Michael
