I hope you will stay on. I am not sure I would have made the same decision as you about the release number, but in my opinion part of the RM role is bike-shedding prevention by making decisions. I hope that the need to test the patch ASAP does not get lost in the discussion of what to call

Hi all -- It's true that changing from 4.1.4 to 4.1.5 requires a bit of work, but really not all that much. It would be better to have Jim continue as RM regardless IMO and others can pitch in. Once the branch is copied to 4.1.5, others can pitch in to do version updates. Non-committers can

I feel bad leaving RM at this stage... we are so close, and I don't want us to lose momentum. But I also don't want there to be drama (which is very, very tiring). As I said, if I stay on, and am still "picked" as RM, my plan would be to simply move on to 4.1.5 which is, at this state, the EXACT

To be honest, I really don't think I have the time or energy at present to continue on as RM for the 4.1.x stuff, no matter what we do. After being away at confs for ~3weeks, I have quite a bit of a backlog. Who wants to take over. I still am signing up to do the macOS and Linux 32/64 bit builds.
