2 month warning is pretty much useless as a warning. No fixed bugs yet, no 
idea what the freshly baked release is all about. We need to figure out how 
to have a 7-5 day warning of already assured release.

That is exactly my problem. Not everyone on this list is watching the 
kde-commit tags. Heck, I don't even know what it is. Besides, people who know 
what that is, and know when it happens are probably not the best people to 
write the release notes. Cause they write "we crashed bugs" instead 
of "resolved outstanding code quality issues". (that is not the best way 
either, but you should understand the comparison)

Since you know what kde-commit tag is, I propose you will be responsible for 
letting us all know about the release date exactly 1 week in advance. :)
