Thanks for volunteering, Thierry! (and Doug for your outstanding work
in the last cycles).

Maybe could you (and Doug) document (if not done already, sorry if
that's the case) your tasks on Release management, and the "things to
know" about this topic, on https://releases.openstack.org.
Also we could eventually organize a training session during a PTG (or
virtual?), to get attraction from folks volunteering to help and
eventually become good enough to apply PTL one day.
Just some ideas here, feel free to comment.
