I was under the illusion than we had some RRR people not talented enough
to be full-speed contributors to release management that we could have
this team run one or two ReviewFest while the "serious" guys were
working.
Goal being to continue being responsive to authors in a way that will
not compromise our stability, but if that means *all* qualified talents
of the community get assigned to release management team… I stop seeing
the point.
