From what I gather this would probably be a rare event (and therefore one of the masters could do it on the maintainers behalf) but I'm not the one doing this sort of stuff on a day to day basis.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">If so, then you'd need to add Dylan Baker to the list (for 18.1), and of course add each release maintainer as time goes on (unless they're already a master of course).</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">There is then also the issue of what happens when the branch stops being maintained (ie: going back to developer if not needed).
