I was thinking about using google code review tools (vote), but maybe
it can be simpler here in the list. Using GC code review tool can help
"concentrate", focus the information (votes, comments).

Yes, and we also have to prepare the CHANGES file. This one can be
used as part of the "we're proud to announce" message's content (as a
summary, what did we do, what did we improve).

> And we should be prepared for support questions and bug reports!

Yes, I except more questions than bug reports :)

Maybe I can add a new type, so we know which issue are coming from
jallist. What's your opinion ? Is the existing "Defect" be enough ?
Maybe we could add a Source field: "Source-jallib", "Source-Jallib".

My question now is: do you all want to:

 1. wait for test results page integration and a well validation
process
 2. start working of the release, without the test results.

I prefer 1., because it's a nice piece of information about what's
been done, about the quality we provide. But I can understand some
would want to skip it, *for now*, in favor of releasing now (or quite
now) to meet our users. I'd say, very approximatively that 1. is 4-
weeks of works, 2. is 2-weeks. So, 1. ? 2. (maybe a 3. I can't see ?)

Yes, he will !!!
