perhaps we should ask jesse how we might best help share the load?  maybe 
having one person with final authority on the release process is no bad 
thing - i know that none of the stuff i've installed so far has been 
anything but fine - but maybe that person shouldn't have to be doing 
loads of other stuff as well.

i feel we're a little to quick to re-engineer this process.  it's not like 
it's broken, it's just painfully slow.  can anyone inside it identify 
major rate-limiting steps that people can help with, and point to 
documentation on how to do it?  if there's no doco, *please* say so, i'll 
jump through the hoops and write some up (if it's about something i can 
do, which doesn't include making new packages).
