I would say we generally don't have too much interaction with William - thats ok for the most part. We would welcome his participation in the paid bug fixing programme.

Here's my take on it (Jürgen as release manager probably has a better way to put this): 

From our perspective I would say a 'release' only covers the preparation of the source code. Following on that usually comes (in sequence) windows and ubuntu packages, the visual changelog,  public announcements, OS X packages, other platform packages. Documentation is only targeted for LTR releases and usually comes out some time after the actual release.

In an ideal world we would have everything lined up and then make one big splash announcement with everything ready to go, but there are too many ducks to line up in a row :-P
