I think agreeing on and following a release schedule is the crucial
part.  Both for how frequently core team branch is merged
(aspirationally) as well as how long (roughly) after the merge the
release is made.

I propose that we have a time-based release model rather than a
feature-based one (similar to the Linux kernel).  However, what's
perhaps even more important is to have a release model that we adhere
to.
