I have the following tasks in mind:
* Monitor Octave bug reports and apply patches from the main development
branch to the stable branch.
In some instances this job is trivial, but in others it requires
some care as the two branches may diverge so that patches don't
apply cleanly, or a change to the development branch might not be
appropriate for the stable branch (e.g., it changes an interface
that would break binary compatibility for .oct files). In the
latter case, maybe there is another fix that can be made that
doesn't break compatibility, or the fix may have to be deferred to
the release of the next major version. Ideally, only bug fixes
(and perhaps only fixes for regressions from previous releases)
should be applied, as I think the goal for the stable branch
should be stability. But currently we tend to apply patches that
are "safe", even if they fix bugs that are not regressions from
previous releases.
* Make periodic releases from the stable branch.
