upcoming releases (RMs wanted)
devs (and users), Call me impatient, but I don't want us falling out of
rhythm. We already have 'kind of' consensus on the next few releases; 4.20.3
, -22.1 and -23. Do people agree with that assessment? next question
obviously being; are there any volunteers to take on the RM work for those?
(Being a PMC member helps but is definitely not a requirement, as there
will be plenty of support) And if you volunteer, what are the timelines you
would propose?
my idea was:
- 20.3 february
- 22.1 march
- 23 may , but the RM is to have a word in that of course
The procedures around releases are a kind of tribal knowledge though there
are some guides[1][2][3]. It would help if you are also willing to help
kristalising and automating these; [1]

Abhisar,
you can take the lead on chasing deadlines, setting timelines and calling
for freeze/rc etc. Any PMC/committer can assist you with the boring stuff
;) So I don't mind if you volunteer.

Hi Daan, All,
I am not a committer, so I am not sure if I can manage a release myself.
However, I would be happy to volunteer and help in any way possible with the 4.20.3 release.
