I think I did this for 2.5 and plan to do improve communications for
2.6.  I'll need to work the details out with Barry, but it is my
intention to communicate as much as possible.

The next release (in two weeks) will probably be a little haphazard as
I try to get up to date after pycon.  I'll try to get more organized
so all subsequent releases go smoothly.  Suggestions to python-dev on
how to improve the process are always encouraged.
