I'm the one trying to organize people who are interested in managing the 
4.0 release.  Please read over the charter document that Aaron posted 
(basically, only Section 3 is relevant for our purposes).  If you want 
to be involved with the release duties, reply to this thread indicating 
which parts of Section 3 you are interested in helping with.

There were some names mentioned on the e.V. list, but I'll let those 
people speak for themselves here.

As for me, I am interested in helping with [3.1] (Release Schedule), 
[3.2] (Definition of Release), [3.4] (Reviewing Applications), and [3.6] 
(Communication and moderating).

I have asked webmaster to set up a new kde-release mailing list; once 
that exists we can get organized there.

One idea I have to lower the barrier for entry in this process is to 
introduce the idea that people can take on duties for specific 
sub-modules, rather than for the entire project.  For example, if you 
want to volunteer to be the release coordinator for kdeutils or 
kdemultimedia, or kdegames, you can do that.

Thanks, and let's get this ball rolling.
