So we're looking for a kind soul who'd like to help with this, i.e. take on the job of making the pretest tarballs (actually this 24.5 release should have a very short pretest, so the "s" in "tarballs" should not be needed), uploading them, making announcements, keeping track of bug reports related to that branch and deciding which ones need to be fixed before the release, those kinds of things (Glenn can tell you more about it). This is a great opportunity for someone to get more involved in Emacs's development. And as usual, that person can count on all of us to provide all the whining and screaming he/she might need. Stefan
