[11:52] * barmintor raises his hand from the peanut gallery
[11:55] <awoods> comment?
[11:56] <barmintor> If there are two types of releases (Major and point), and the latter are issue focused,
[11:56] <barmintor> it seems like it would be possible to get managers for point releases
[11:57] <barmintor> from the pool of paid technologists at Fedora-using institutions
[11:57] <barmintor> by guilting/praising managers there
[11:57] <barmintor> if the release procedure were sufficiently contained/documented
[11:58] <barmintor> to make the commitment of time a comprehensible quantity
[11:58] <awoods> it seems that the momentum is to have those wanting the release (b/c they have/need a feature)
[11:59] <awoods> take on the manager role
[12:01] <barmintor> I just remember Thorny beating the bushes for Fedora here a while back
