Initially, Chad was going to be the release manager for 1.17, but other issues meant that he isn't going to have time to manage it right now. I think the current plan is to have Tim make the 1.17 release. I don't think any merges are left at this time besides, maybe, the recent XSS fix. Still, since Tim is is the release manager, he should have more definitive answers. > Related to this, as our review burden for 1.17 lessens, we should > start to think about 1.18: re-recruit reviewers again, start thinking > about when to branch 1.18, etc. Are there any plans related to that? Nothing formal yet, but all of us are very aware of the need to make code review happen in a timely manner. I'll be watching CRStats (http://toolserver.org/~robla/crstats/crstats.html) closely and encouraging developers to help in code review. I think branching 1.18 immediately after the 1.17 release (or now, for that matter) will help us manage code review better. If we have people testing the 1.18 branch and updating regularly (similar to what Ubuntu does for their development) and we set a date (July 15th?) when we know we have to have a release prepared, then that will help Code Review all the more. But after a bit of discussion on IRC, I think we should try to get Tim's, Brion's and anyone else's opinion on what they think about the release schedule and code review.
