I like the idea, as far as the maintainers are aware that the specified 
date is just an indication for the translation teams, not a final 
decision.  For example we might be busy the specified date, and prefer 
doing the release a bit later, or a bug should be fixed, etc.

The reason why some maintainers of extra modules don't announce upcoming 
releases or new branches is maybe because the information is hard to 
find on the wiki. I know that it's a wiki, I can improve it, etc, but I 
don't recall where the relevant information is written. By looking at 
[1] and [2], I didn't see where this information could be.

So a new link at [1] with a summary of what maintainers of extra modules 
should do (the different mails to send to the i18n list) would be 
perfect :)

Cheers,
Sébastien
