Do you mean a release to gnome.org?   How often does this occur?

Are releases to gnome.org after each release on ekiga.org, or simultaneous?

Is a test on garnome on an x86 laptop sufficient?  If not, does gnome
have a build-test farm?

How often is regularly?

Can these tasks can be done by someone who is not a C programmer?  (I
think familiarity with configuring the dependencies, building, tarring
and using SVN, and simple scripting, is needed.)
