Clear rules for releasing next versions

[slawekjaranowski]

The one of most important for collaborators is to know when they can expect release next version of component which they did a contribution.

When user did a PR with fix, new feature and next would like to use it in their projects ... so waiting a long time can be a little frustrated and not encourages for next contributions.

Good point, but that would require a kind of release schedule which might be not OK for some of the Maven Committers/Contributors etc. ? Maybe some kind of roadmap ? Or a time based release schedule (like the JDK does) of course with shorter time period?

Any point discussing it, got rejected every time it entered the dev list so feel like it will be loosing time to discuss it again.
Maybe just associate it to a trigger ("if there is a CVE") for ex?
