May I suggest a 1-week (or less) window without merge of new
features/improvements, announced on a separate (low-traffic) mailinglist
for packagers to test the release?
We'd then have time to test whether the code is fine for all of us or
not.
Concept wise, do you reckon something like this would work:
+ a new libvirt-announce mailing list, low trafic, purely for release
announcements and similar
Along with us announcing a '"release candidate" build through it (instead of
the
present approach). If it looks good after a period of time (a week or something
as you mentioned), then it gets re-released as the actual release.
If something turns up significantly broken, then we respin as a release candidate
2 and repeat the process.
?
