I don't recall discussion of monthly releases (I searched my email 
too) but I don't really have any objections.

But in the event there are no (or only 1-2) fixes on the 8.0.x branch 
in a month, would you still bother making the release?  If it was me, 
I wouldn't bother if there's no significant changes.
