To get us moving forward on the release notes, I copied the 3.9 roadmap
contents into the ehterpad here:
https://public.pad.fsfe.org/p/glusterfs-3.9-release-notes

If someone can do a first-pass edit of that to ensure that it is the
correct list of changes and owners, I can take on nag responsibility to get
the notes filled in.

I agree with Niels that we should stick as closely as possible to our
3-month commitment, particularly given that 3.9 is the first release after
making that commitment. Hitting that commitment perfectly, we would have
released 3.9 last week, so we are already working a slip.

As a reminder, 3.6 is set to EOL with the release of 3.9, per the published
schedule, so we get the bonus of a maintenance monkey off our backs. :)
