Hi.
In my proposal I was thinking about maintenance releases only. Constant QA
on master, Betas I am taking for granted. So, proposed workflow would be
like this (based on 3.6.1 and 3.6.2):
3.6.1 release 
at RC1 	Week 33, Aug 13 - Aug 19, 2012 - start of nominations of bugs, which
should be fixed in 3.6.2 
at RC2 	Week 34, Aug 20 - Aug 26, 2012  - list ready, reviewed by QA, picked
minimum number of bugs - maybe goal of 5-10 bugs  per release will be
achievable? interested devs can assign the bugs to themselves
3.6.2 release
Hard code freeze & branch libreoffice-3-6-2 	Week 38, Sep 17 - Sep 23, 2012
- bugs from nomination list VERIFIED FIXED
at RC1 	Week 38, Sep 17 - Sep 23, 2012  - list empty or number of bugs <
minimum goal - nomination is started
....

This is of course apart from all other bug fixing and QA activity. Details
to be discussed.

Would be happy to see that going on... Please remember that old bugs are
mostly in the master anyway.

I know that there is propose=do it scheme on this ML and it is rude to have
excuses but at the moment I want to dedicate myself to bugs triage... 
Backlog it this area is enormous. 
Best regards.
