The release is the Release Managers' job, the Project Leader has no special powers related to release management. Branden did, however, participate in the recent Vancouver prospectus discussion.

1-element Schwartz set

If you look at the results you will see that there was a 1-element Schwartz set. What this basically means is that there was a clear winner -- compared to each other candidate, Branden Robinson was preferred more than 50% of the time. This is very good because it means that there is a clear consensus within the voting population as to which candidate is the best.
