I would think that the best thing is for you to concentrate on the issues 
that might currently prevent 2.18 being ready to go.  Your work on fixing 
issues as they arrive is admirable, but (AFAIK) has not been our normal 
process - rather we have ensured that the bug is in the tracker and then 
left it until someone picks it up at some point in the future.  This might 
be less responsive for users, but it's the way it is.

You could even stop monitoring -user for a while - there's no requirement 
for devs to monitor that list, and many of the users are good enough to 
answer questions as they arise there - that would allow you to focus more 
clearly on cleaning up the code ready for a 2.18 release.
