They aren't dependent on one person, it's just that one person usually
gets into the groove of tagging the code, rolling the release, calling
for the vote, doing their own personal testing, uploading the packages,
updating the website, making announcements, etc.

Anyone can do all that, honestly, but the generally speaking the torch
of "release manager" seems to pass from one committer to another every
few months or so.

Looks like jfclere was doing them from around the end of 2009 until now,
and before that it was Remmy.

If you're dying to try 6.0.33, feel free to just check out the 6.0 trunk
- -- it gets very little activity other than reviewed bug fixes, etc. so
if you build it yourself you should be good-to-go. When the "official"
package is released, you can "upgrade" but it will likely be the exact
same code.
