Dave, Allan,
I'm going to suggest something we've never done before.
Dave, you're the 2.18 release manager. Many thanks for volunteering.
Fully agree about the do it twice thing. You'll notice that most
of us volunteer twice :-)
Allan, If you accept I'd like you to be the 2.19 release manager.
The goal here would be that you shadow the 2.18 release, ask
any questions if something doesn't make sense, and then you're
on deck once 2.18 is out the door.
The release process is documented here:

Cheers,
Carlos.
