As outlined in my other mail I definitely don't, at least not if it comes 
with *my* spare time ;)

Interesting calculation, especially with just two sample points (i.e. 
releases done by me). My conclsuion differs:

 - With the current number of contributions it might take about
   a year from the initial idea to do a main release [1] until
   it actually is done [2].
 - Doing a bug-fix only release is usually faster [3], but it
   may take equally long to even mention that update on Dia's
   wiki home page [4]

If you want to do your own math, just take a look at the NEWS file [5]
