Personally I would prefer that release coordination be done on sage- devel, rather than a seperate mailing list. But I am probably in a minority of how I interact with such things (I only read these on the web, not email for example).
Maybe some day there could be a sage days devoted to releases - aim for as many releases within a week as possible, with a different first- time release manager for each one. It seems like having many people with release manager experience would be very healthy for the development cycle. -Marshall On Jun 2, 2:12 am, William Stein <wst...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello Sage-Devel, > > Since Michael has mentioned that he's going to be stepping down as > release manager, we're going to distribute the work of release > management on a rotating basis.
