I don't want to sway this discussion one way or another, so I will just make a data point (or perhaps a helpful hint ;)
In Bigtop (and in some other projects I've partaken/observed) the content of the release would be discussed either on the dev@ list or in a special JIRA. One such example would be an ongoing BIGTOP-2282 or already completed BIGTOP-2078. This way an RM can always gauge the level of interest for different features and make an educated guess on when to cut an RC.
