Bertrand and I are in private correspondence about this. One or both of us will follow up to the list as things progress. There's a lot of FSF procedure to deal with. But for the sake of transparency, in the meantime, he asked if the current HEAD was good enough to tag as "rc2" and I said "yes". I'd like to encourage people with an interest in groff to step up and become contributors if they can. I think having the "lead developer" (or "most active" one, at any rate) and "release manager" be separate people can be a good separation of concerns. In a peer relationship where there's mutual respect and comity, having one person focussed on "this is good, let's make this a release, announce the good work that's been done, and get it in people's hands" and other on "we can make it even better: let's fix this bug and improve that feature" can be a healthy dynamic for development.
