Hi Jehan, Thanks. I'm glad to hear you have been in contact with this contributor. Just to avoid any confusion, I have no comments on the GIMP release schedule and no wish to interfere :-) I just wanted to make sure that the contributor's message got to the right person, since it's better that they discuss a possible release with you and not the GNOME board.
