Making a release requires people having the resource and time to make 
this release.

Initial kde releases has been released by me. After that Christian takes 
over release management. After Christian Patrick took over release 
creating. Now Patrick has finished his studies and works on a full time 
job, probably with not enough free time to make a release anymore.

Who is willing to make a new unstable/stable release and like to take 
the chance to be a part of one of most exciting project in the open 
source world ?

BTW: Nightly builds needs also a maintainer - by default it is an 
automated process, but the last release is from September 30, 2010, so 
there must be something broken.
