Most people do not notice when this happens. Having milestones on github is
nice, but most of us miss that. Just make it obvious: add a tag when
you start preparation for a release - no matter if you call it 'v241-freeze',
'v241-rc' or whatever. I guess 'communication' on the lowest level can help a
lot here.

(BTW, there's another place I would like to see more tags... Would be nice to
have signed tags whenever a bunch of commits lands in a stable branch.)
