Those two items you mentioned can be done by the community at large.

The point of a release manager would be introducing a couple more benevolent
dictators; rather than someone who has a "rank for show" but no true extra
responsibilities.

It would need to be something that actually means they can do things that
normal community members or even core team members (which is essentially
currently a rank to show they contribute a lot of quality code rather than
more responsibilities) can't necessarily do such as making releases, making
final decisions on features inclusion etc. All of this is in consultation
with the community but everything needs a leader. Currently we have Fabien
but Symfony is growing and too big a project for one man to bear the brunt
of all of these things (think of the bus scenario).

Hi,

Does "it has to be" someone else than Fabien ?

I would rather see him focusing on this role (Release Manager of master)
instead of everything else he does actually.

Nominating people for "Issue triage", "PR triage/checker", "..."  instead
would be great in my opinion.

What do you guys think ?

the point of it changing is to prevent this from becoming in-transparent.
furthermore i think its a great way for new developers on the team to be
recognized for the trust they have build within the community.
