This development model would undoubtedly achieve the goal of being
able to make a high quality 22.2 release.
Here is a proposal that would still achieve the same goal, with the
added advantage that it would get us closer to a future 23.1 release
at a higher speed:
* ask for 2-3 (or more) volunteers that would:
- backport all the changes that you'd consider important from
trunk to the 22.x branch
- develop fixes for bugs that only occur on the 22.x branch
- analyze the reported 22.1 bugs and fix them or ask for help to
fix them
- ask you to stop all development on the trunk until some critical
bug is fixed on the branch.
* open the trunk for any new development
Now, during the summer, is a very good time to allow for more
development to happen: a lot of people have more free time, we'd
want them to use that time for emacs as much as possible.
Do you find such a plan acceptable? IMHO a plan like this would
satisfy the people that ask for more development on the trunk.
Please let us know.
Thanks!
