I understand the frustration I hear in this response.

One difficulty I see for community members to do the actual work
required is knowing what actual work is required.

I see 278 open issues on zeromq/libzmq github.  Not all are blockers
to a release given some predate the last release.  I do find 6 with
the "Critical" label but  they also predate the 4.3.4 release.  I
could not find a label among the 60 that are defined that indicates to
me that its issues are blocking the release.

Perhaps people with the required expertise to categorize and the
required github access can label those issues that must be solved
before a release?

This will give the community needed guidance on where to contribute as
well as a concrete understanding on what is blocking the next release.
When this topic flares up again (and it will if we do not do
something) we can point people to that label and say: please help make
this list of issues empty.

Perhaps such a list already exists and simply needs more prominent display?
