As Michael answered too, of course we have people in charge of the
Windows release procedure. Simply I am hoping we can improve it by
merging efforts, since several people are also known to do their own
quality release outside us. And our procedure is far from perfect. I
wish it were more systematic and without a fault.

But we do have an existing procedure since we do have releases and
code for it in our repo. And we are slowly improving it (for instance
you may have noticed the recent improvement: now all releases go in
the ftp, instead of using a third party provider).
