Release Manager Volunteers?

[Eric Evans <ee...@rackspace.com>]

The amount of time I'm able to commit to Cassandra going forward is
uncertain, plus, it wouldn't hurt give someone else a turn, or to have
some redundancy here.  Do we have any volunteers?

The requirements are:
 * Committer
 * Gluten for punishment

I wouldn't; I didn't.

That's a good idea, we can start round-robining between Sylvain and
Sylvain right away! :)

Why should you limit to just one volunteer?

The idea is that the procedure in
http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/HowToPublishReleases should be
followable by any Cassandra committer.

I would propose that the release manager is the person who steps up to
run the release for that specific release. If it is just one person
always making releases then that becomes a SPOF... better to have more
than one and round-robin it, or have one do the stable releases and
the other do the new releases...

I'd volunteer as well only I don't have commit access... (I have
access to publish to maven central on behalf of cassandra, but that's
a whole other story)

That is probably a mistake I'm going to regret soon enough, but since
it doesn't sound
I'm stealing the idea to anyone I'm volunteering.

That would be "glutton" of course, release management is 100%
gluten-free.
