\[11:52\] \* 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
