I agree - it's one of the things which I've found tricky to understand 
re the release manager role - the project maintainer is the one who 
should, I think, be setting the scope of the release, and the release 
manager is merely ensuring that everyone is aware of where we are within 
that scope.

Since 3.1 is my first oVirt release, perhaps someone could explain how 
the scope of the 3.1 release was decided after the 3.0 release, and how 
we fared against that original plan during the release cycle?

Cheers,
Dave.
