There are still some patches under review for 3.6:
  http://review.gluster.org/#/q/status:open+project:glusterfs+branch:release-3.6

I have abandonded the ones I sent, and closed the related bugs with a
not. See these links for an example:
  http://review.gluster.org/14771
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1208384

There are currently 119 bugs open with a 3.6.x version:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?f1=bug_status&f2=version&o1=notequals&o2=regexp&product=GlusterFS&v1=CLOSED&v2=^3.6

Someone (or rather a few people) need to volunteer to go through the
bugs and close them with a note, or change the version to something more
appropriate. Any of the bugs that are assigned already, should probably
be checked by the person who owns the bug.

Thanks,
Niels
