[scikit-image] Release schedule

[Egor Panfilov]

Hi Stefan,

>From my perspective there are still some issues to be closed before the
release (see https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/milestone/6).
This year we have been using GitHub features extensively and they should
represent our current point of view regarding the codebase status. Among
the tagged issues there are some long-lasting ones, and these could be
transfered into 0.13 roadmap. As for the others, I'd prefer to solve them
first.

Regarding release schedule: we are having a discussion in
https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/issues/2357. In short, the
convenient release schedule should be tied to deprecation policy timeline,
which is to be reviewed.

Above said, I'd suggest to push the release date a bit further. At least,
the freeze initiation.

Regards,
Egor Panfilov

P.S. I'm traveling on the next week, and will not be able to contribute
significant efforts till Dec'26th. However, I'll try to track the mailing
list, and participate in the discussions (if any).

> Hi, everyone
>
> It's time for a new skimage release. I have the following timeline in mind:
>
> Thursday 22 Dec, feature freeze
> -- bug fixes, documentation, clean up --
> January 5th, tag pre-release
> -- developer and early adopter testing--
> January 10th, tag release
>
> How does that sound?

> Also, do we have a volunteer for release manager? :)

> Finally, I m thinking it may be a good idea to make an automated release
> schedule for the future. E.g. release every 4 months, and work out how long
> we need to freeze each time. Opinions?
