I've been thinking quite a bit about the bug backlog and was wondering
what it might take to get the community motivated to fix bugs. I decided
that what might really help is a maintenance release. We already have
some valuable fixes in 10.3 which users have asked for. If each
developer were willing to put in a couple more we could have a valuable
maintenance release in December. Who would be willing to participate
if I were to volunteer to be release manager for a release December
10? By participate I mean would you be willing to make fixes or test
the release? If we get enough community enthusiasm for the release I
think it is worth doing.

I think having a maintenance release in this time frame would be good.
I would be available to fix bugs. As usual I would fix bugs in the
trunk and then backport them to the 10.3 branch - so both the
maintenance release and the currently discussed 1st quarter trunk
release would benefit.
