+On the Saturday before a release you should notify other developers to stop
+committing non-release related code to trunk.  This will help avoid
+complications. They are of course free to commit to branches as much as
+they like. You might also set the topic in #parrot, announcing the 
+time when you plan on starting the release procedure. This will help
+the committers with timing their last minute commits.

 You might also select a name (and optionally a quote) for your release.
