You've said that it's unclear how the release model works, when we release what and where a feature can go.
I've documented the current release model in the knowledge base, https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-release-model/ would you like to take a look and see if it answers your questions?
This is a fine overview page, and if this info was not previously available, then it's surely good to have it documented.
However, it doesn't help explain how to meaningfully participate as a core developer in the releases. Where does the discussion happen about the progress and planning of the release, and addressing problems? How to partipate in those discussions? How to push a patch into a preview release, or a release, how to make a release? Etc.
My assumption is that this is all restricted to employees? But even that isn't explained on the page.
That page is supposed to document the current release model for users. I've also created another page, https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-quality-development-rules/ but it's still an on-going discussion and also doesn't quite answer your question, I'm afraid. But it mostly does, I think it'd be easier to extend it than to create a yet another page. /Sergei
