I have some backward compatibility work in membership that I want to
complete for 1.11. Doing so will remove the need to keep a bunch of
other backward-compatibility code around and simplify things in the
membership packages.

Oct 25 sounds like a good date to plan around!
As much as I would love to volunteer again, this would be a really fantastic
opportunity for a new committer who hasn’t done a release before. Don’t be
shy! No prior experience required!

Hi Owen,
Thanks for bringing this up!
Given our track record, instability we have seen in the pipeline recently
and that the holidays are coming up, I wonder if it makes sense to give the
release more time to stabilize and cut the branch even earlier. Maybe we
could try to find a release manager early next week and cut it Oct 25th?
Thoughts?

Geode's stated policy <

is to cut quarterly release branches on a time-based schedule
(specifically, the Monday on or after Feb 1, May 1, Aug 1, Nov 1).
Here’s a potential timeline:
Now
[Contributors] Start thinking about how to make features already in
develop as stable as possible.
[Contributors] Hold off on merging new potentially-destabilizing work
until after the branch is cut.
[All] Start a DISCUSS thread if you want to propose changes to release
cadence, release process, or the timing of this release specifically.
Mon Oct 28
Call for someone to volunteer to be the 1.11 Release Manager. No prior
experience needed! Unforgettable adventure guaranteed!
Release manager begins working through

Mon Nov 4
Cut release/1.10.0 branch (only critical fixes accepted from this point
forward)
Thu Nov 21 (estimate; actual date depends how many critical fixes must be
brought in to stabilize the release branch)
1.11.0.RC1
Thu Dec 5 (estimate; actual date depends how many RC's it takes)
Officially release 1.11.0
