38=head1 DEVELOPMENT RELEASE SCHEDULE
39
40This schedule lists the release engineers for at least the next
41four months of releases of bleadperl. If there are fewer than
42four months listed as you make a release, it's important
43that you extend the schedule AND B<identify the next release engineer>.
44
45Before adding a release engineer, you B<must> contact them and they
46B<must> consent to ship the release.
47
48When shipping a release, you should include the schedule for (at least)
49the next four releases. If a stable version of Perl is released,
50you should reset the version numbers to the next blead series.
