I just put some proposed dates into the 7.1 schedule page:
https://wiki.qemu.org/Planning/7.1#Release_Schedule
* 2022-07-12 Softfreeze
* 2022-07-19 Hardfreeze. Tag rc0
* 2022-07-26 Tag rc1
* 2022-08-02 Tag rc2
* 2022-08-09 Tag rc3
* 2022-08-16 Release; or tag rc4 if needed
* 2022-08-23 Release if we needed an rc4
Does this work for people? I just worked backwards
from a final release date about 4 months after 7.0; easy
enough to shift it forward or back by a week or so if
that works better for some reason.
