If you want to do the release, I am more than happy to not have to do the
release myself :)

Is there anything still blocking you ?
Can I help?

OK. I closed https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/10069 as I think it's a
duplicate.

Do you or Pierre plan to fix that ticket?

I think that you should block the release only if someone is committed to
fixing the release blocker.

I plan to update the release documentation to make it clear that all
release blocker tichet
should have an owner and there are plans to fix the ticket in a maximum of
2 weeks.

Otherwise we risk to block the release forever... and if we delay forever
people will start using "trunk"
and if everybody is using trunk, what is the point of a release :) ?

------

For the future, maybe we can stop doing a release candidate wheel and
instead just announce that a release is coming
and people should test trunk and flag any release blocker ticket.

I think that with pip, is now very easy to install Twisted from trunk.

Cheers
