Well, you are a co-maintainer now. The reason of all this thread was to 
find and assign a new (co-)maintainer, because Javier didn't have time 
lately to do such releases, and several changes on master were not 
included on any of them. So we needed someone to volunteer to get the 
releases rolling. You volunteered, so now you are the co-maintainer, and 
among all the responsibilities a co-maintainer get, you have two: decide 
when it makes sense to do a release, do such releases if needed.

Having said so ...

First: take into account that I'm not sure if at this point you can add 
more functionality to a 3.31.X/3.32.X Accerciser release, due the 
freezes. Im more familiar with freezes with libraries. Take a look to 
the schedule [1], and check if the freezes allows that.

Second: there is another reason to do a 3.32 release. Current last 
Accerciser release is 3.31.4. That numbering points to a unstable 
release. There are some distros that doesn't include the latest release 
of a program/library, but the latest stable release. And that is 3.22, 
and as you know (that again, was one of the reasons of the thread), that 
is old and doesn't include last changes.
