This is a great idea!

In particular, it would allow more people to be involved.

There's a practical limit to the number of people that can be
involved in any single release process; having multiple
groups handling separate releases (for example, we
might have a group working just on 8-STABLE releases,
so that 8.3, 8.4, etc, weren't competing for resources
with the more complex 9.0 release).
