I agree with you that making releases is important. However, when

called to actually make them, it's been hard to get voters to respond.
Anyone can vote. Anyone with an interest should vote. Three PMC votes
are
required to make a release happen, though. But any vote for or against
is
important, PMC or not. Lately, it's been hard to get the TWO extra PMC
votes
needed to make a release happen (since mine is cast when I cut the
release
candidate). I think this is in part _because_ no one else is showing an
interest in the release and casting a vote either.
I don't think thats necessarily the case, for me (as someone who tries
to vote for pylucene releases), the problem was a combination of two
things, as I did try to actually test it over the weekend:
I sure didn't mean to blame you (or Mike) as you both usually provide
the two extra PMC votes needed.
No, I'm just trying to gauge what to do given the dwindling interest of
the other readers of this list and the lack of interest of the 25 other
PMC members.
Doing releases is work and so is testing a build for a release vote. If
the process can be streamlined, I'm all for it.
We are still happy users of pylucene although still stuck on 3.6 due to
the need to switch from facetting via bobo-browse to native 4.X facetting.
And we are really grateful for all the work you have put into pylucene.
Thanks!
