Criteria is that things be fairly stable.  I need to check the Changelog in 
one of the snapshots, but I think there are some IC-901 patches being worked 
on.

I too added several changes to the FT-920 I want to see rolled out as a 
release.

Let's try to do a release of 1.2.7 within the next couple weeks, shall we?  
I'll probably leave the rigctld stuff out of the distribution tarball.

Volunteer as a release manager?  :-)  Seriously, I'm hoping someone with 
experience in project management will step up and I can go back to dealing 
with backend stuff.  But, I'll keep the seat warm until someone comes along.
