I have missed the entire thing, so I think it will be fair to say that
20 days is not sufficient notice, at least the way it is given
currently.

I'd think any release announcement should happen much earlier, even if
the release date is not certain, with subsequent updates of the
schedule once it becomes more realistic. I'd also publish the release
schedule and its updates at lua.org regardless of any posts in l-l.

Cheers,
