+1 to do a release. If we want to have a release 'soon' it is probably a good idea to not wait for the `avro-gradle-plugin` to be included since there is still a good amount of work to be done to get it merged, so it will end up delaying the release.
We don't have a strict policy for new features in patch releases so why don't we get out a new 1.11.x release with the latest changes (DirectBlockingBinaryEncoder + nanoseconds + others) and wait for the 1.12.0 release for the plugin + any maintenance policy changes (which versions will be maintained, etc) and other eventual backward incompatible changes. Any volunteer to be the release manager?
