Hi Elijah, It's wonderful that you're taking initiative to streamline our release process! I love all the suggestions, and I'll chip in with my thoughts.

I know we can't be too strict on this one (every now and then there will be a couple of exceptions; for some we will be using very old tarballs such as previous Gnome releases), but I believe documentation and translation projects would benefit from having exact date until they can work on something while being sure that their work will end up in the release. So far, I have always had problems answering the ultimate question of all translators: "up to when can we submit our translations to be sure that they are making it into the release?" Yeah, every day counts. Maybe that's what current two days in the "roll out period" is about, but I just want to make it a bit more specific. Asking for a simple "notify gnome-i18n, gnome-doc-list if you are releasing early" (just like Rich did with gcalctool in this round) would be a great help as well.
