I've done release engineering before. It is
my considered opinion that one person needs to be on point for each release. It's
possible that that person could rotate in and out, but one person needs to be running
through the checklist of "things that need to be done".
I've mentioned on several occasions in the past that we should try this.
If each branch (REL1_17, 1.17wmf1, REL1_18) had someone to babysit
it, it would lead to less turnaround for things to get merged to various
branches because someone would be the "go-to" person for getting a
trunk change into the branch in question.
