Mark/Markus: I'll second the request for merging pages (in general, and
those 2 specifically), and encourage Updating existing pages rather than
just starting afresh.
Aging documentation isn't usually improved by abandoning/forking it!
Updating is often preferred.
Ideally, please merge *into* the older pages, which have:
* more watchlisters,
* and more history,
* and more incoming links (from onwiki, and email archives, and bookmarks).
All of which assists in widespread awareness of changes (and thereby
collaboration).
It's perfectly fine to have a per-release checklist that is updated, but it
shouldn't be different than the main pages people look to for information.
Also, burying the work under the WikiReleaseTeam page doesn't help
findability.
Possibly merge & update some of these, too?
Thanks!

Hi Greg,
actually, the WikiReleaseTeam/Release process [1] is my attempt to
rewrite the release checklist [2], with more specific information about
responsibilites and timeframes. I will take this opportunity to continue
working on this.

That's it! Thanks, Sumana! :)
Mark/Markus/Kunal: This seems redundant (in some ways) to
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/WikiReleaseTeam/Release_process . And they
don't crosslink.
Mark/Markus: Can you merge the two pages effectively?
Thanks!
