If this is not the case as a suggestion please let the community know what's going on.� Perhaps an automated email sent to the mailing list with today's status (like 400 packages left to rebase, 20 packages being reviewed by QA etc) would give a sense of progress, let the others know if you hit problems and reduce the anxiety with daily doses of news :)

You know, it really amuses me that there are all these "drive-by" offers of "help" with every new release of CentOS. If I were one of the developers, I'd be getting a little annoyed right now.
If you really want to assist, why don't you invest the time and effort BEFORE a release is near, helping out with all the standard stuff so that you can gain the trust of the team, and become a real, long term, contributor.
