This sounds like planning activity.

Gnome has an app called planner ;-)

Would it make sense to discuss a way to put these rc- and other related goals
on a gantt chart?

Maybe even automate import from mailing list emails marked with e.g. [release-planning] in the subject
and one delimited markup region like
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
planner-importable xml here
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Discussion without triggering automated import would just leave
"[release-plannng]" out of the Subject: line, or have e.g. [release-discussion]
in the Subject: line.

Anyway, I thought a nice gantt chart .svg or .png or .pdf might be nice :)

Thoughts?
