I think this may be due to a fundamental problem with how you've
chosen to manage the process.  I think it would be less work both for
you and also the component maintainers if we made like Gnome and just
said, "OK maintainers, tarballs for RC5 are due on such-and-such
date."  Then we avoid paying the extra cost of marching in lockstep on
a single branch in a single repository.
