30
31This schedule lists the release engineers for at least the next
32four months of releases of bleadperl. If there are fewer than
33four months listed as you make a release, it's important
34that you extend the schedule AND B<identify the next release engineer>.
35
36Before adding a release engineer, you B<must> contact them and they
37B<must> consent to ship the release.
38
39When shipping a release, you should include the schedule for (at least)
40the next four releases. If a stable version of Perl is released,
41you should reset the version numbers to the next blead series.
