Would Joshua be volunteer both for QA and Release Maintainer ?

Good Idea.

Stay tuned for bugs on rel30 and HEAD, and keep track of those who are 
on both versions.
File bugs when they are only sent on lists.
cherry pick patches which adress rel30 bugs.
If a patch is sent related to branch 3.0, then resend the patch for 
branch3.1
In that purpose, maybe building a smolder server for 3.0 and revive 
information nightly could be good.
Or maybe I could use Andrew's one if allowed.

OK then for Release Maintainer.
What about QA manager for position, if he were outside from Liblime and 
BibLibre ?
Chris spoke his plans on Translation.
Having a website where patches would be fetched by RM seems to me a 
solution which will make the RM task heavier and quite tricky if some 
patches are to be replaced, or updated. Would it not be easier if he 
could push sthg on his remote branch with signing-off his patches, same 
for QA ? And then, RM would just have to merge those remote branches.
