Sorry for dropping the ball on moving things forward.

I would propose a feature freeze this weekend and the goal of getting
the first RC out by the end of the month.  We should probably plan a
hangout sometime in between now and then if there is stuff we want to
work out at a lower latency.

There are 62 open issues tagged as 1.4.0, but there are a number of
issues which have both an issue and a PR so it is more like ~40 open
issues.  At least some of these will probably be punted.

The major features that are outstanding and need work/discussion:
 - grid lines in polar plots (#1441, #1730, #1847, #2203
 - Qt5 (#2471) do we want to squeeze this in? ipython has it working
so I don't think it will be too bad (despite all the furry in that
issue).
 - turning down the garbage collection calls (#3045)
 - #2986 axes order for event handling

Bugs this still need patches:
 - auto-scale + sharex/sharey + aspect heuristics don't always work
(#1325, #2492).  I could be convinced to punt this as it is 'fixed' by
just setting the limits by hand + the forcing parameters.
 - #2856 / #2900 issues with saving animations
 - #3065 font priority test failure
 - #2698 deal with empty lines in text + box
 + #3039 tornado should not be an install dependency
 + #3042 revert changes to default style in boxplot
  - #2941 / #3012 calling cla() in `set_ticks_position`
  - #2945 issues with hist, patch in issue
  - #2977 pyqt string validation (patch in issue)

Bug PRs that need minor work:
  - #1981 / #2662 mark-every upgrade
  - #2150 / #2942 fixing issues with auto-limit + 0 height bar plots
  - #2394 / #2951 issues in mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.anchored_artists
  - #2475 / #2843 contour labels (release critical)
  - #3000 / #3017 multi-line in pgf

Bug PRs that need major work:
 - #1012, animation related PR from jdh.
 - #2366 / #2738 errorbar + linestyle (this is one of mine, Eric does
not like it)
 - #2828 / #2927 issue with mutable objects, ==, and hash


Documentation:
  - #2350 annotation arrow example, code in issue needs PR
  - #2742 how to do a re-base (mine, needs work)
  - #2796 offset on default formatter documentation
  - #2603 suggested edit in issue
  - #2908 404 in docs
  - #2918 re-write contribution guide lines to match reality
  - #2929 doc about clip-on
  - #2999 install documentation
  - #3004 remove all references to nxutils
  - #3035 documentation in Polygon object
  - #3055 maybe add warning to get_window_extent

PRs that need review:
 - #2288 / #3053
 - #2602 / #3015 fix stem plots
 - #2822 (documentation clarification)
 - #2952 / #2518 turn off clipping on all pie charts

feature PRs that need minor work:
 - #2855 adds flag to spy, pep8 issue
 - #2541 / 2874 fixes mouse over text in polar mode (rebase)
 - #2961 3D quiver
 - #2996 violin plots

No idea what to do with
 - #2025, tkagg + osx framework build stuff

Maybe resolved:
 - issues with the screen not matching the saved images (#1441, #2935,
#2831, and #2889) might all be fixed by #3054

I think I am going to start just doing merges with CHANGELOG conflicts
on my local computer and pushing to matplotlib/master as the amount of
re-bases we end up needing is getting absurd.
