</span>I agree, though the main thing is the mail to the list:<br>
<br>
* Now you can propose your branch for merging<br>
* Now the merge window is closed<br>
<br>
And to the translations list<br>
<br>
* Now you can translate stuff<br>
<br>
Which it would be ideal if the calendar could send them automatically.<br>
<br>
<br>
This does remind me of something not in my original mail: I think<br>
feature branches should be proposed for merging in phabricator -and-<br>
on this mailing list. But what would be best? The week before the merge<br>
window opens? Or in the first week of the merge window?<br>
