From my point of view it looks as follows:
I'm just finishing the last parts of the OS X integration that
are meant to go into version 2.8.12. This means
- reviewing a patch for the critical and urgent [bug 730211],
- checking the JHBuild configuration for updates and
- cleaning up.

Until this is finished I suggest we also take the time for final
tests in the gimp-2-8 branch.

From my point of view we could release then.

BTW: To support the release process I shared a search in Bugzilla
to quickly find the fixed bugs in this release. It's named
'GIMP - changes since last release' and GIMP developers find it
in the footer of their Bugzilla sites. Currently it finds 65 fixed bugs.

I would also have loved to integrate Simone's port to her forked
and updated GTK-Mac-Integration project, but as we're already late
with 2.8.12 and her changes are sort of fundamental, I tend to start
with that right after the 2.8.12 release. So we'll have enough time to
test and do justice to it.

There are some things yet to do whereof the GEGL port is the most
important of it. We don't have a date for GIMP 2.10. Help is welcome.

Kind regards,
