This is not exactly what I'm suggesting, although the mechanism involved is probably the same. I'm suggesting to do a "real release", i.e., with a reassuring version number (Org 8.3.7, Org 8.3.8). Also, the rule I suggest is different: "one week after last unreleased bugfix" vs "next monday after first unreleased bugfix". One major issue with the current rule is, e.g., when you introduce a toxic bugfix on a gloomy Sunday. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
