In recognition of the direction things are evolving, I'm dubbing Jon

Chris Kuethe on the list of people with authority to schedule and ship
a release as well as commit patches.

Thank you very much!

 

In the past, that release authority has been used by someone other
than me exactly once - Chris Kuethe cut the 2.37 release back in
2008. In the future, I expect this to become more common.  While I don't
expect to disappear entirely, there are good general reasons to distribute
authority so the project is less vulnerable to single-point failures.

Accordingly: Jon, you have my encouragement to run the next
release. Use your judgment about when it's ready, or required.  Follow
the release procedure in the Hacking Guide; if you think it needs
changing, we'll talk.

I'll keep an eye on status of the project in the next couple of months.
