If I am counting right, there is still not enough people. I can join the
release team then, if I may. :)

Have you guys already done something in the background, or is this
thread all?

I think there are two steps I see immediatelly:

1. There should probably be an issue that covers what happens when,
according to the release schedule, so that it's easy for users &
committers to track what they can expect, and what committers can/cannot
do, ie. push major changes to master. This should probably also be
announced on the mailing list.
2. There could be a milestone on codeberg, grouping the issue that need
to be solved prior to the release. For example, right now there is this
issue with libxml2 grafting that definitely needs to be resolved prior
to the release. And this is pretty much 'blocked' by mesa-updates that
currently has the 'ungrafting' job.

I would also welcome this PR https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/2518
(I welcome other ideas of cuorse, but I really think this issue with
online check should be resolved so that people can install even if CI
frontend is down)

Also, was it agreed who the release manager is? It's not clear to me
from the e-mails.

Regards,
Rutherther
