There are a couple of reasons for that: - This should give us more time to come up with a final version of the media-committers documentation and agreement; - This would also work better with regards to end of year's vacations, as they'll be affecting at least 2/3 -rc versions. Plus, we all have things to finish before such vacations. So, better to start fresh next year; - Media CI still had issues with a patch series I submitted, as it picked the wrong baseline, causing CI to not test two patches that were applied on the top of media-committers/next branch. This was fixed by Ricardo, but it means that we may still need to polish CI before granting more people righs there. With that, if we want to start the media committers for 6.14, we should aim to close review this document by -rc6, or, at most, -rc7, getting the patches merged during the next merge window. Regard Thanks, Mauro
