Short schedule for Octave 5.2, if I make the final release tarballs and
MXE versions:

I start on Friday 1/31 03:00 a.m. (UTC) [09:00 p.m. (CST, Chicago)] the
builds (I am in Japan (JST) now, there it is already noon then).

This will take some time.  Then I upload them to

   https://octave.space

and wait for jwe to copy those files to

   https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/octave

this might in worst case take for me until Feb 01.  For America and
Europe the release will happen on Jan 31.

Thus by Jan 31 afternoon/night, Octave is able to merge default on stable.

Sorry for the timezone confusions.
