Could you please be a little bit more proactive about alerting me to 
the impact of such things on making GNU releases?

For example, I was assuming we were counting down two weeks from
1.2.2rc1 before I was supposed to either make a release (expected
case) or raise a red flag (unlikely but that's part of what I'm there
for).

Now I'm a little confused where I should be in my part of the process,
in your view.  I gather the clock is slightly reset by rc2 but I'm not
sure precisely what the co-maintainers' expectations are regarding the
status of their work in relation to GNU releases.....
