I'm planning to create a debian piglit package. (Well, it's basically
created at this point.)

This doesn't require an actual release of piglit, but it is nice to
have. I asked Ian, Carl and Chad what they thought about it. My
original thought was that it would be interesting to just tag the
version Ian used to test major Mesa releases.

Chad replied that he had some reasons for also wanting some sort of
occasional mini-release/tag. Carl seemed to like the idea. Ian didn't
seem to really have an opinion, although I'm pretty sure he wasn't
particularly interested in picking up another heavyweight release
responsibility (in addition to Mesa).

After further discussions we ended up at what Emil presented.

I'm not sure that anything is really strongly is pushing for this.
(Chad does seem at least moderately interested though.) But, as you
might note, the plan is also trying to keep this as low maintenance as
possible.
