Maybe we can handle this in the near future, but I'd like first to know
how this is being done at this moment (who is doing it and how). I think
the BuildBrigade work should be nearer to the releasing team than it is
currently, so I think it'd be great if we can help with this. Guadec is
almost here, if you (or any other related people) are attending we can
meet there and talk about this, if not, please let me know about this
process in this list so we can decide how we can get involved.

Thanks
