My own preference is to just do them as often as we have capacity for. More releases means peoples’ work gets into the world faster, there’s more motivation to work on Twisted, more features means more users and more users means more potential contributors and it’s a virtuous cycle. However since I personally have the bandwidth to do zero (0) releases per year myself, this does mean that others get to dictate the schedule ;-). If you’d like to do these two, other volunteers can do more (and more than one planned release manager at a time would be great). If at all possible, I think one per quarter, so four per year, would be a good lower bound to aim for. (Among other things, a quarterly cycle makes it easier to align with a popular style of resource planning in many companies.) > > My plan is to have the release process documented and automated so that > anyone can take the role of the release manager for a certain release.
