I'm well aware that we were scheduled to get a 1.4.0 release out in January. Unfortunately, other work commitments and travel have kept me from matplotlib over recent weeks, and it doesn't look like it's going to get much better in the short term either. If anyone wants to volunteer to take up the release manager role this time around, I, for one, would certainly be appreciative. But if no one else is available, I'd be glad for any help "around the edges". The time consuming part of making the release is triaging all of the pending bugs and pull requests. It looks like we have 62 for 1.4.x and another 12 on 1.3.x at the moment. Then ideally we make sure all important changes are in What's New. Beyond that, the release is essentially mechanical and pretty well documented (though the new wrinkle this time around is uploading files to PyPI since pip is no longer trusting of files on SourceForge).

Unless someone else really wants to do this, I will volunteer.

To this end, I have renamed the current 1.4.x milestone -> 1.4.0 and created a new 1.4.x mile stone. Issues that are bug fixes/enhancements that should target the _next_ maintenance release, but may not get into shape in the very near future should be moved to the new mile stone. Do we want to do a 1.3.2 at the same time?
