3.0.7

 All the bootstrap file backports we wanted to 3.0.7 have been made,
overall resolved ticket count ( as reported in
https://osdn.net/projects/freeciv/ticket/milestone/3736 ) is 94 already, so
we would have some content to release. Also, it's close to two months since
3.0.6 release (actually; even if we started release preparations
immediately, the release date would be past the two months mark)

 I'll go through the ticket situation this coming weekend, to understand
how important it would be to get the content we already have, released.
There would also be arguments for delaying the release a bit. We currently
have no interesting outside deadlines to match (freeciv-3.0.7 is not going
to miss out from distribution releases simply because it misses their
deadline). Just this week we've got a bunch of fresh new bug reports
(thanks for the increased testing coverage!), and it could make sense to
still fix some of those to 3.0.7 so that further testing is not delayed by
a release cycle, until 3.0.8, in cases where people test on stable
releases. Most importantly, I'm worried that we may have some serious
regressions since 3.0.6. I'll investigate that, and if they indeed are
regressions, then we either have to fix them, or to revert whatever caused
them.
