I'd like to volunteer to be release manager for Twisted 12.3.1, and help work on the other parts of the backporting/release process as I can.</p>

I found and reported bug #6275 while working on a Twisted-based project, and Glyph subsequently asked on IRC whether I'd like to be involved in the release.</p>

I think it might be time to have a maintenance release. Two issues in particular stand out which might be suitable for inclusion in a 12.3.1:</div>
<div>
</div>
<ul class="MailOutline">
<li>
<<a href="http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/6275" target="_blank">http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/6275</a>> - This is a potential security issue which affects any twisted.web.template that uses the (recommended!) method of using a <t:attr> tag to render an attribute within a template. This might even be suitable for maintenance releases of older versions, if anyone is using them.</li>
<li>
<<a href="http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/6245" target="_blank">http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/6245</a>> - This is a regression which affects anyone using twisted.names with 'unicode'-typed hostnames. This used to work, and, some of our own examples as well as some in-the-wild applications - mostly those using XMPP - actually relied upon it. IDNA hostnames never worked, but Python unicode-typed ASCII used to work and now it doesn't.</li>
</ul>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Of course, in order to have a maintenance release with these bug fixes, several things need to happen.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<ol class="MailOutline">
<li>
Someone needs to actually fix the issues. (I've written the code for #6275 but it is awaiting review; #6245 still needs to be fixed.)</li>
<li>
Someone needs to back-port those fixes to a release branch, based on the 12.3.0 tag, and file tickets for those backports.</li>
<li>
Someone needs to review the backports and get the committed to said branch.</li>
<li>
Someone needs to volunteer to be the release manager for 12.3.0.</li>
</ol>
<div>
</div>
</div>

We apparently don't have any official process documentation for doing patch releases, but most of what's in <<a href="http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/ReleaseProcess" target="_blank">http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/ReleaseProcess</a>> should apply.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Any volunteers for parts of this process?</div>
