Release without a Release Manager

Hi all,

I have read the current news on the openSUSE team and the plans to step 
back from the development.

In general, I don't see a big problem here, but one thing really makes 
me a bit anxious: As Coolo is also part of the team, is it even possible 
to release a new version of openSUSE without him?

 From what I know for now, nobody except Coolo knows all the stuff that 
is necessary for releng.

One option I could see is to setup a Release Team with members from the 
Community and maybe someone from SUSE and do a hackweek together with 
Coolo to instruct the team. So Coolo, if you read this, do you thing 
that could be an option? Would you offer your help to hand over the 
tasks to such a team?
