I don't know what amounts of time I'll be able to sink into release team
work, I'm just as busy as anybody else. But considering that I'm already
doing a lot of the pushing of updates for Fedora, there will be some
potential for overlapping smoke testing...

One of the main motivations for volunteering for this role is to ensure
communication between our (RH/Fedora) desktop team and upstream Gnome. 
Basically, we don't want to be surprised by the Gnome 4 plan when the
time comes (:-), and we also want to do a better job at keeping upstream
in the loop about what things we are working on that have an impact on
the gnome platform. I hope I don't get lost in that Bermuda triangle
between company, distribution and upstream...
