Calling all mentors

[Jonathan Ellis <jb...@gmail.com>]

Hey mentors,

We've had an RC2 vote over on incubator-general and cc'd here for
days.  Please vote.  This is getting frustrating: we never did finish
the RC1 vote, before it got lapped by RC2.

Remember when I was explaining that the reason I was reluctant to go
through the full release process for betas and RCs was it would make a
mockery of "release early, release often," and I got slapped down for
that?  I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. :P

It really is demoralizing to go through this, and it does affect the
development process.  (We've fixed a minor bug in 0.4 since RC2, and
if the incubator release gauntlet were less of a total disaster we
would do an RC3, but as it is the sentiment is "screw it, it would
have to be a much worse bug than that to justify going through this
again.")

The RC2 vote was called on the 11th.  Ant voted on the 14th.  Paul
Querna from ASF infrastructure also voted +1, so we just need one
more.  It's been five days.

-Jonathan
