Josh, Jon, Umair:

I have prepped this for you folks.

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/UpdateReleaseDrafting

Also, I've added an archive of past update releases, as well as
templates for future releases, to the "press" repository on
git.postgresql.org.  Let me know if any of you need permissions on that
repo.

This release is a bugfix release with no security issues, which is why
it's a good one to start with.

Thank you for putting this together, it is super helpful.

I thought templates + documentation would be much better than talking
just one person through it.


Where is the starting point for compiling information about what is going into the release, i.e. the “1 to 2 weeks out” step in the guide?

That's where we are now.  Tarballs will be bundled on Monday.

Oh, also: 9.1 is EOL as of this release.

There are several big fixes in this release, including a data-corruption
one for 9.6.

Sounds like it will be a fun writeup.  Looking forward to getting the specific feature list.

Thanks,

Jonathan
