Two weeks have gone by since the last mail in this thread.

The 13th is in a month from today. We're still missing press and a 
cooked solution for the release team.

That means I'm going to have two part in this e-mail:
1) question in public what the options are for me handling the release
    day
2) extend with possible dates into June (because finding a date seems to
    be a major bottle neck for the bookworm release)

Re 1)
I'll be at the Debian Reunion Hamburg on the 27, so that feels like a 
good day (albeit probably missing talks) to do the release if I were to 
handle it without the experienced team members. We would still be 
missing CD & press too for that day.

For me to do the release, I'd need to get my hands on the key, but I 
don't see me traveling to Jonathan any time soon (and I don't expect the 
reverse to happen either). Are there *established* secure ways of 
handing over keys without real-life meetings?

I think that most of the required actions for the Release Team during a 
release are documented on the Wiki [1]. I think I can handle those 
(albeit some are documented a bit dense). Are there known items missing?

Re 2)
Let's see when people are available for
   May 13, 20, 27
  June  3, 10, 17, 24

In June, I can do 10 and 24 and if needed I can arrange 3.
