3.27.90 tarball deadline extended

Hi developers,

TL;DR: the 3.27.90 tarball deadline is extended until next Monday

The release team is still learning how to get by in a BuildStream 
world. It turns out that nobody who is currently available knows how to 
generate release tarballs using BuildStream. Many developers, notably 
Tristan, are traveling from FOSDEM and unavailable at the moment. I've 
been discussing with Javier, and we're both kind of lost as to what to 
do. If you've already released a tarball, you must have done so either 
using host dependencies, which doesn't work for modules that depend on 
new stuff, or with JHBuild. We think it's important to actually be able 
to release all modules without using JHBuild, and we'll need a couple 
days to figure this out, and you all surely deserve at least one 
weekend after that before tarballs are due, so let's extend the 3.27.90 
tarball deadline until at least next Monday. Expect more development 
schedule change announcements as we figure out what we're doing.

Thanks for your patience throughout this big transition,

Michael
