What could I do to help make 7.5-RELEASE a reality ?
Put your hand up and volunteer to run the 7.5-RELEASE release cycle.
That's not actually true or really fair. There has to be some buy-in from the project to do an official release; it is not something that a single person can do off in a corner and then have the Project bless the bits as an official release.
And raises the interesting question for an outsider of
a) who is "the project" in this case and b) what does it take for a release to be a release?
Wasn't there a freebsd-releng (or similar) mailing list ages ago?
I am going to avoid the above question, since I don't know the answer and I believe other(s) have already answered it.
However, I will throw out the following comment: I can't seem to find the post, but someone suggested a release mechanism where stable/N would simply be branched when it appeared to be in good shape. Although I have no idea if this is practical for all releases, it seems that it might be a "low overhead" approach for releases off old stable branches like stable/7 currently is? (ie. Since there aren't a lot of commits happening to stable/7, just branch it. You could maybe give a one/two week warning email about when this will happen. I don't think it would cause a "flurry of commits" like happens when code slush/freeze approaches for a new .0 one.)
Just a thought, rick
