3. He then would team up with documentation team and plan all required additions/changes to the wiki

4. He then would ask a bugzila admin to create new tags in bugzilla for the new release, so issues can be reported properly

5. He then would report back to devs that the release procedure is ready and release is a go, so the ISO can be released.
