You should volunteer to be release manager - that way you are sure to accept
your changes for the next release :-)

The actual task of making the release represents a couple of days a month. The
tricky part is planning now that we no longer have weekely IRC meetings.
(Indeed restoring IRC meetings would be alternative?).

I do not believe we can slim down the release process (and still keep quality).
What we can do is be very active about testing with the community in order to
place less burden on one person. Slimming down the release process is not the
hard part here; with it representing two days; the hard part is asking everyone
to commuicate so there are no surprises and no disappintments.
