Just to add to this, a post I was going to make earlier this week.

The release schedule is up on http://developer.gnome.org/dotplan/schedule/
and, to save your dingus-clicking finger, here. With the amazing ascii
progress-o-meter arrow, which will change the next time I post this.

Notes

   1. The GNOME 2 release team will be enforcing the various freeze dates. 
      If you have a change that breaks one of the freezes but that you feel 
      must go in, please contact us so we can review the change.

      We will be much more likely to accept changes that are planned before 
      the freeze date but don't quite make it, or changes that are agreed 
      upon by all affected parties.

      We all need to do our best to make these freeze dates to get the 
      release out on time.

   2. If you will be away around this date (or other package due dates), 
      you must get your packages in early or designate someone else to do 
      make a release.
