The past has shown that we need approx 5 months to stablize a release and go through alpha, beta and RC stages. Therefore I want to start a discussion on how to move forward with 5.6, to get a release schedule up as fast as possible so contributors now when to push their stuff and to vote on RFC's BEFORE the first beta. I think over the last years it proved to be good to have the current RM support a new RM who then takes over after the final release (e.g. Julien basically does 5.5 alone now, but we worked a lot together during alpha/beta/RC). Therefore my suggestion is that Julien is going to help out with 5.6 and then we would need a new RM that can learn from julien on how to do things to later be able to do 5.6 on his own. Suggestions?
