Jürgen, at first thank you for your work as a developer and RM.

Time based releases are very good decision.

I think that clear separation of nightly builds after a feature freeze from
regular nightly builds (even if they are technically same) followed by loud
public announcements will surely help to catch more bugs.

Even if there is a no man power to maintain bugfix releases, please support
people to commit backported fixes to release branches. I think many people
realized importance of these bug releases and will offer a hand. I vote for
Sandro's work flow - if there is at least one commit from latest minor release
and at least 14 days of silence - release just a source code. Other things
will follow upon volunteer base.
