Martin, you're the git specialist. But regarding releasing LXDE
components, maybe some could have a new release.
LXTask had a memory leak fixed and was about to be released then nobody
talked about it anymore.
Most components have much improved translations since they were last
released and these could have a minor point release.

Now an observation. In a constructive manner.
I see that Julien Lavergne is mostly the only one that has been working
on the apps but ideally, in a non technical opinion as I'm not a
programmer, I think that the master branch in git should be reserved for
bug fixes and pre-tested improvements.
Untested code (like these recent gtk3 compatibility commits that have
broken, for instance, lxpanel and lxterminal in a very basic way or
gpicview that has something that looks like a typo and makes it not even
compile) would be commited to another branch and then the commiter could
ask for testing in the mailing list.

The benefits for the workflow and for multiple contributions is evident.
