If you (or anyone else on this list) can get patches together and uploaded
to the bugtracker for any of the bugs mentioned within the next week or so
they can go into this release. If not then they will just have to wait
I'm afraid--I can't push this release back any further, as it is blocking
some rather critical updates that will solve other, more major problems.
Forgive me if I missed something on this thread but I'm talking mostly from what I've saw in the most recent SVN releases: isn't it better to postpone due to what may be a lack of polish that might drive away users in the same way KDE 4 and GNOME have done recently? One of the problems I have noticed ever since I started using Linux is that desktop environment teams are extremely preoccupied about release dates more than what users will experience when using said environment, resulting in what ends up as a product in a bug ridden mess that distros have to fix themselves before packaging.
Not doubting your judgement - or anyone's - on the release date, since you better than anyone have a better view of the project as a whole. Could it be in order to have small release updates (call it 3.5.13.1) over the 3.5.13 branch until 3.5.14 is released, in a way to address the bugs that are know to exist currently but can't make the release date? Otherwise they just get pushed further to what can be a good while. That would seem to me a good way to handle this situation.
