    Just a small addition to this:

    These people who take care of the 'main' release of the branch
    will also be responsible for possible minor releases for the same
    branch. (4.2.0 is the main release, 4.2.1 a minor one..)

    So nobody but the RM shall _NOT_ touch the branch.
    _Only_ RM does MFH or RBM will B.

    Developers should be aware of this and notify the RM/RBM whenever
    they fix some bug and think it should be included in a minor release.

I don't have problem with that since I'm not RM :) However, it seems hard job for RM to check all commit & merge. Since RM must maintain release branch at least few monthes after 4.2.0 is released. It seems current way is working well. We may need some guideline for how we maintain release brach, though. We can try ;) -- Yasuo Ohgaki
