[gluster-packaging] [Gluster-Maintainers] Requesting for an early 5.6 release

[Poornima Gurusiddaiah]

Thank you Shyam, Niels and Kaleb. Sure i shall pick the testing, and the
other tasks you mentioned. I may not be able to do the building of
community packages for this release, as i have no prior experience in doing
this.
Will wait for tagging and centos rpms, and proceed with the testing.

Thank You,
Poornima
