Sweet, thanks for tackling this.

If you want the extra time before the freezes, why not just put the
extra release you dropped back in?  More on that below.

We'll need to propose it to the community at some point, but there
were a few differences I saw that I'm curious about:

- Why is there over a week and a half between 2.16.0 tarballs being
due and the actual release of 2.16.0?  ;-)
- Why four weeks between 2.15.3 and 2.15.4?  (I know we did 3.5 weeks
or so for 2.11 but that was due to relocation of the gnome servers; we
originally had planned for just 3 weeks)
- As I mentioned above, I'm curious about why 2.15.5 was dropped.  We
could easily add it back in, especially if the slush time from the
previous two points was used for this.  :-)

Thanks,
Elijah
