The release process for Pulp 3 will be different from what we do for Pulp
2. Our plan for publishing Pulp 3 with quality to PyPI is outlined on our
wiki[0]. We are hoping to be able to release to PyPI once a week during the
beta cycle. After the packages are published to PyPI,  any of the
derivative packaging (RPM, Debian, etc) can be performed. The build team
can decide how often the derivative packages need to be produced.

The code will be frozen when it is published to PyPI.

As outlined on the wiki, we plan to ensure quality at merge time of every
commit.

Pulp 3 will always be published to PyPI. Any derivative packages can be
hosted on fedorapeople.org. I'd like to defer to someone else to speak
about the signing.
