Actually, we spent a fair amount of time talking about Gentoo Status in
yesterdays meeting and how to move forwards with that. As for PR, after
the Userrel + PR merge we have more manpower, and we're not concerned
with just the release. Hell, as far as the release goes, PR for that is
done by the Releng team and their PR coordinator. Don't assume that PR
isn't interested, but we can't read minds and if people don't keep us in
the loop then chances are we miss stuff that could be news worthy.
