I've recently seen a couple of references to 3.1.2 go by in checkins which made me wonder whether dates have been proposed yet for updates to either 3.1 or 2.6. I don't recall seeing any and I didn't see any references in the PEPs. Some advance warning would be nice. I assume that some critical problem could trigger planning for an update on short notice; is there a time-limit trigger as well?

Barry was once proposing time-based releases; this idea didn't really catch on.

It's the release manager who decides when the next bug fix release will be made, often in response to developers asking for one.
