I thought that releasing something before the end of summer would be a 
good release date: a new release is available before the beginning of 
the new "university" year. Would you agree on a date like end of august 
? (if I become the release manager, this is also more compatible with my 
schedule).

For the bugs, I was not talking about all the bugs in trac, but the ones 
in 0.5.3 milestone (10-11 bugs, I think).
