Okay, let's do it! The branch QA_4_6 is now there.

Marking open issues which we should fix for release is good approach.
I've already marked some things such.

support 4.5 for some time after the release of 4.6?
You probably meant 4.5.5? Looking at the expected dates set for
milestones in [1], 4.5.5 is due on February 22nd while 4.6 is due on
March 1st. So, I guess we will have a 4.5.5 and I do not see a need to
do further releases from QA_4_5 branch.
Yes, I meant 4.5.5. I can do 4.5.5 later in the month and prepare for
4.6. If there is no further discussion, I'll expect to release 4.6.0-rc1
later this week.
Doing 4.5.5 sounds like a good idea. There are some fixes in the QA_4_5
branch. Also I think we've started quite late with feature freeze, so
maybe we can adjust 4.6 release to monthly schedule as well? So how
about shifting it to 22nd March?
Please take a look at my draft of the release
notes at
https://github.com/phpmyadmin/data/blob/master/notes_for_feature_releases/4…
and let me know (or edit directly) if you have
any suggestions.
Looks okay to me.
Double-checking about branches, as part of the
-rc release I'll create a
new branch QA_4_6 which will be a branch off of current master (this
part does not look scripted). As part of the 4.5.5 release, I'll branch
MAINT_4_5_5 off of the current QA_4_5, and QA_4_5 will eventually get
deleted. Finally, note that tags are not created for -rc releases.
That sounds pretty much correct. I've created the QA_4_6 branch right
now. I'm not sure if we want to start with -rc or rather -alpha now...
If the release is on March 22nd, I think we have enough time to do all
-alpha,
-beta and -rc releases.
