Core new release?

Hi,
As per public Gitlab stats for Mailman Core repo, 25 issues have been closed in April so far, which is the record of the last 12 months and beats the previous four months total.
From a merge requests perspective, it is the record too, and the merged requests number pace is growing by ~15% over the last four months, reaching a quarter of a hundred in April.
I know that it's just a month from the previous Mailman Core release, but given the stats above should the next release be planned earlier than usual?
Best regards, Danil Smirnov

A release for Core is actually imminent, but I am not sure about timing as there are other things going on. Maybe in two or three weeks I can get some betas out.
We want to get out new version of web components soon as they’ve accumulated some fixes and new stuff. But the new version of Postorius requires an new REST endpoint so we’d need to release Core for that anyway.

I'm actually thinking about establishing my own Docker-based releases from master branch, but in this case I would skip participation in beta/pre-release testing due to having my own schedule.

For future reference, "any hope ... soon?" is typically a deliberately offensive way to make a claim. "Just ... question(s)" is also a good way to get yourself blocked by native English speakers, because I don't think I've ever seen it used in good faith by a native speaker. (That's not a threat; if I meant it that way I'd just do it.) Write as you like, but be aware that many people will think poorly of you if you use idioms like these, unless they assume you're not native in English and make efforts to account for that.
Up to you. master does get quite thorough unit testing, usually fixes when tests fail, and a certain amount of integration testing and fixing leading up to a release -- that's why it takes a while to release. It might be a good basis for your releases. But that depends on your purposes and how much work you want to put in yourself.
