We have enough new changes on master for a new release, and it always
seems to motivate people a bit to look at patches. In honor of my plans
to spend a few weeks in Montreal, the release schedule will be
both relaxed and French-themed:

- feature freeze: July 14 (Bastille day)
- release July 24 (St. Jean Baptiste day)

As always, feel free to tag patches with notmuch::0.25 in nmbug and/or
ping me on IRC about things to include

There are two big series outstanding from my point of view: gmime-3.0
compatibility and indexing all copies of a message. I'm open to
including this, if they get some review, but I don't think I will push
them without more feedback.

We can worry about NEWS patches during the feature freeze, but in case
you want to get started, here is an edited output of git shortlog. It's
cool to see new (and old) names here.

More or less on schedule, we are now in feature freeze. I've tagged
0.25_rc0; hopefully only NEWS / changelog changes between now and
release.

Those of you on Debian should hopefully see a build of 0.25_rc0 in
experimental within a few days (it has to go through NEW because the
SONAME bump).
