[MylesBorins]

@evanlucas would you be open to putting together a rc today or tomorrow?

[evanlucas]

Sure

[Fishrock123]

@evanlucas next week or this week?

[Fishrock123]

collaborator_guide: clarify commit message rules

Try to correct this to doc:

[evanlucas]

@Fishrock123 I was thinking next week since we just released. But, if we need to push it up to this week, I can definitely do that.

[Fishrock123]

Also you may want to use --group and without --simple to make the proposal. :)

@evanlucas I usually aim to release weekly, @rvagg actually prefers every two weeks, up to you. I don't know of any glaring issues from v5.8.0

As a note, this will probably also contain my timers patch, which I will now remove the dont-land-on label so that it gets picked up.

[evanlucas]

Ok, well I'll start cherry-picking today and try to get a rc out this afternoon. If things are looking good, I'll try to release Wednesday?

[Fishrock123]

@evanlucas whatever you are comfortable with. :)

[evanlucas]

Moving to #5702
