So the plan is this:

- Werner Macho will maintain 1.7.x branch until 1.8 comes out (which
will take probably around a month)
- Once 1.8 comes out Werner will do the point release maintenance and
I will focus on 1.9.99 beta releases leading up to QGIS 2.0

So when 1.8 is out, just backport to the release-1_8 branch, the
releases will then be branched from there to release-1_8_1

Hope that makes sense.

Regards

Tim
