Yes, call it "release dude" if you want. It's the same, just named 
different.

I also propose that Ingo does this job for 3.2; here's why:

Myself and Don are a bit like antipodes of the KMail development 
community. Thus, I think that neither of us represents the community 
good enough. That basically leaves Ingo.

The second argument for Ingo is that the release dude has to make sure 
that KMail 1.6 (KDE3.2) will be stable in time. Ingo has shown in the 
last weeks that he is the most active bug squasher around here and that 
he takes responsibility for other people's code, too, so that again 
makes him the prime candidate.

Regrading you, Zack, Aaron and Carsten, I think you will agree with me 
that it's not _yet_ your time :-)))

The other option would be an "external" release dude, such as Stephan or 
Waldo. If one of them wants to do the job, I'm open for discussing 
that.
