Tagging and building a tarball needs rights on the release branch, also it takes about 10 minutes to do, hence I can take care of the same. Packaging is still done by just 2 folks, so added the packaging list to this mail, to understand if they need any assistance and their time constraints. Post packaging, we test if the RPMS are fine, and upgrade from an older version. I use containers to test the same as detailed here [1]. Helping out with this step can be useful, and I will assume till I hear otherwise that you would taking care of the same for this minor release. Other activities include, - prepare release notes - Upload release notes to the doc site - Announce the release - Close bugs fixed in the release post the announcement Again, something I can take care of, and should take about 30 minutes overall.
