I've posted a slightly modified version here:
https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebKitGTKStableReleases. I think it's
great that we are finally codifying our release policies. We should
also fill up that page with instructions for actually making a
release. :)

Last cycle we were the only ones testing the 1.4.x branch before
release. I'm definitely in favor of getting the 1.6.x and 1.8.x
releases out in as 1.7.9x and 1.9.9x.
