Hi maintainers et al! What's the status of our individual projects? Should I plan on cutting the releases this or the next weekend?
Debian is soft-freezing on 2021-02-12. https://wiki.debian.org/DebianBullseye I'd like to ask maintainers who are interested in a release happening to please update the release documentation (see my commits from just-before-the-previous-release). Obviously, there's no need to update anything that's automatically generated. The less time I need to spend on producing the release notes by reading through the commits and trying to piece together a story, the easier it is to make the release, validate it builds, sign it, upload it, prepare the signed emails for sending to GNU announcements, etc. I am happy to review maintainers' (or other volunteers') PRs updating the docs. If the docs are not updated, I am still ok writing the updates myself, it might just be messy. The faster we can cut a release, the higher the chance that there's enough time for Debian package maintainers to get the package through the bureaucracy and into the bullseye archives.
