Thanks for taking up the baton Will et al.

Just for clarity - given that getting CI 'done' will take some time (mainly= because of the state of the Marvin Tests and Marvin output) - are 'we' now= dropping the monthly releases?

Subject: 4.9 Release Management

Hello Everyone,
I have mentioned this in other related threads, but I wanted to make an off= icial thread on the topic.

I am nominating myself as the release manager for 4.9. Please feel free to = discuss if you have comments or concerns.

I will not be working alone, I will be assisted by Koushik Das and Patrick = Dube. I will be running point, but all three of us will be working together= as a unit for this release.

Our main focus for this release is the integration of hardware Continuous I= ntegration (CI) into the PR flow. Koushik and his team will be setting up a= CI environment which will be used for testing PRs and I will also be setti= ng up a CI environment for testing PRs.

The details of the CI integration will be handled publicly, but we will lik= ely have to work with a minimum viable implementation initially and move fo= rward from there. Here are some of the key aspects of the CI which are top = of mind for me.
