It would be great if you could just post a release schedule, even if
it ends up slipping a bit.  Include code freeze milestones, etc., so
we can know when we've got to have things ready for you.  I know I
have a few patches to some of my stuff, but since my free time is so
limited, I usually will wait until the last minute to nail down the
loose ends and send them out.
