Hey Olav,

Lack of regular releases is certainly something I've been unhappy with
as well. I've been unwilling to delegate the job of making releases,
because a) it's something I _should_ be able to do, b) I'd like to keep
releases coordinated with the stream of changes going into GIT to avoid
releasing at a bad point. But if I can't find the time to get a regular
release stream going I'll turn the job over to someone else.
