Amber,

Can we have a new Twisted release within the next two months, say in Nov./Dec. timeframe, or
sooner if you'd like?

Given that Amber hasn't been super responsive lately, and that I firmly believe it should be possible to take breaks from open source (particularly amidst the, you know, global collapse of civilization and stuff), I will take the opportunity point out yet again that http://twisted.readthedocs.org/en/latest/core/development/policy/release-process.html documents the release process and any sufficiently-motivated volunteer (with at least a bit of history & trust within the community) can step forward and receive all the permissions necessary to do all of these steps.

I will personally volunteer to fill in the permissions gaps for any interested parties, although I don't have much bandwidth for the release itself.

Amber, if you want to do it, go ahead and get started, I'm just saying we don't need to put this on your shoulders :).


I haven't heard any response from Amber, so I assume that Amber is busy (and I hope is OK during all the pandemic).

If it is OK with Glyph and Amber, I can focus on pushing out the next Twisted release, and hopefully get help from Adi.

I'm working now with Adi to automate more of the release actions via GitHub Actions, and have gotten pretty far,
such as being able to build wheels of Twisted on GitHub Actions for Linux, MacOS, and Windows.
