Agreed.

Now more concretely, what do you suggest we do at each release, and who does 
what?

E.g. can someone write info/kde-frameworks-5.2.0.php
based on the input I gave, or shall I do my own thing there as fallback (won't 
be as good but better than nothing) ?

I see there's also announcements/kde-frameworks-5.2.php
and then kde-announce at . I would also add kde-core-devel at .
I think it was said that a dot story is fine too, and then there's social 
media.
My question is: are we doing all this every month, and is there a volunteer 
for doing it?
