Well, for me it would not be a "queue" in the sense of how Greg maintains
it but more a release candidate derived from the last 3.10 tag. Basically
if nothing changes between the review and the release, it will just get
an extra commit which is the release tag. If I produce it just for your
use case and you're fine with a force-pushed branch, I'd rather avoid to
confuse other people who probably have no business using it.

Thanks,
