Well, if more than three people are involved in the release work,
I think that the release workflow should be arranged in time order,
otherwise, we're easily going to fall into chaos. e.g.

Assumption work starting from the second week of the release month:

1. Collecting the patch list for a new release, like this email does (Cyril)

2. Reviewing and merging the patch list of step1 (All maintainers,
LTP-users)

3. Pre-release widely testing, we need to explicitly post results in step1
email (Petr, Li Wang)

4. Tiny fix according to pre-release testing result (All maintainers, users)

5. Writing release note (Cyril)

6. Uploading tarballs (Petr)

7. Announcement email of LTP release (Cyril)


Does this look useful? or anything else?

IMO if any more volunteers hope to be involved, they just need
to pick up any step they are interested in.
