<h1>Introduction</h1>

<p>The release engineering team utilizes a code freeze to maintain
  stability in the period immediately preceding a release.  The
  developers below have been given explicit approval by re@ to
  continue conservative work in a narrowly defined area until the
  expiration dates below.  All other developers are required to get
  approval for each individual change from re@ before committing to
  the release branch.</p>

<p>General discussions about the release engineering process or
  quality assurance issues should be sent to the public <a
  href="mailto:FreeBSD-qa@FreeBSD.org">freebsd-qa</a> mailing list.
  <a
  href="&base;/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/misc.html#DEFINE-MFC">MFC</a>
  requests should be sent to <a
