GNOME 3.38 release schedule

Hi,

The release schedule for GNOME 3.38 is now available:
https://wiki.gnome.org/ThreePointThirtyseven

As during the last cycle:

* Tarballs are due on Saturday (not Monday anymore)
* Stable and unstable tarballs due on the same day
* Stable maintenance releases over a longer period
* Releases are published when ready (not necessarily on Wednesday)

New this cycle is the oldstable release series. We're going to keep
doing more GNOME 3.34 releases until feature freeze. Of course, please
don't make new stable releases just because there's a release on the
calendar; to avoid update churn, please only make a new release if you
have bugfixes that you want to release to users. In particular, GNOME
3.34 had a translation deadline last September, and GNOME 3.36 had a
translation deadline last month, so there is no need to release new
stable tarballs solely due to updated translations.

My plan to push the 3.38.0 release date back to the end of September
was foiled by Ubuntu and Fedora release schedules. The finalized date
is September 12 (matching last year's schedule); this is as far as we
can go without causing problems for these major distros.

There is an ICS file available for your calendar at
webcal://www.gnome.org/start/unstable/schedule.ics. We are currently
trying to make it work in GNOME Calendar. :) It's also linked from
