That sounds reassuring, but looking from the outside the
progress isn't as visible as it should be, and as it used
to be when Matt made regular releases and posted status
updates to lkml during the git vs. hg competition aera.

But you're right in that it doesn't need to be Matt to do the
release management. It just looks as if *no one* does it atm.
