Yay, thank you!!

Who else is able and willing to dedicate time to this?  I think work
could actually start real soon.

As I see it, people on the release team will *not* do all the work.
Rather, they will keep track of things and make sure we together tackle
the relevant tasks so we converge towards a release.  It does not have
to be very technical.

Agreed, that would be ideal.

I think we should formalize it at some point along the lines of what
NixOS did, presumably with a section in the manual.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
