Open source golden rule: ready when ready
i don't see it as a matter of urging developers to code faster however, it may be good practice to do more stable releases typically when majors bugs are fixed instead of having both bug fixes and new features in dev releases: because those new features are likely to introduce other bugs of course, this requires more work and process for the module maintainer since it means working with branches, fixing in branches as well, and also still have HEAD where upcoming features and major refactorings are put to sum it up, ready when ready still applies and said in a vulgar way, open source is not the excuse for being messy/lazy/careless - because although it's open source and you're doing it in you spare time etc, you have responsibilities towards your user base my2c :)
