I don't think there should be any linkage between releasing 2.8.0 and 2.7.4. If we have a volunteer for releasing 2.7.4, we should go full speed ahead. We still need a volunteer from a PMC member or a committer as some tasks may require certain privileges, but I don't think it precludes working with others to close down the release.
I for one would like to see more frequent releases, and being able to automate release steps more would go a long way.
