I see a "you" vs. "we, the release team" here and I also had a similar 
impression when reading some other posts (by other developers). That doesn't 
feel good.
IMO this also shows some "disconnect" between "core developers" (members of 
k-c-d) and the release team (members of the release ml). Maybe this is one of 
the reasons why we get such a "lively" discussion here ?

The core developers who didn't subscribe to the release ml are told by the 
release team when a release will be done (at least it may feel like this for 
some of the k-c-d members). I'm not sure it's a good thing to have these 
discussion/decisions on a mailing list different from k-c-d (since it's 
the "core" mailing list).  As far as I can remember when we were trying the 
Technical Working Group (one of the tasks was supposed to be managing 
releases), the official location which should be used for discussion was 
k-c-d.
