Yes, thank you Simon and Leo for the help with the release! I felt less
lonely :-). I've learned that producing a release can easily take 2-3
weeks even in good conditions (e.g., not many blockers to fix). I'd
suggest anyone (myself included :-)) trying to meet the schedule to
seriously start trying to put out RCs a month before the planned release
date.
It would be nice to get a Release Candidate (or Pre Release?) out with
some time before the string freeze; it's easiest for me to do the
spelling/grammar/typo checks and fixes after the first RC tarball (as it
is basically just part of my packaging for Debian workflow), but was a
little disappointing to not be able to get such trivial fixes into the
release.
Alternately or additionally, setting up a "make dist" job on
ci.guix.gnu.org and publishing the resulting tarball somewhere would
allow me to check at arbitrary points during the release cycle and catch
things earlier.
