Perhaps we can go ahead and start figuring this out, and Paul can chime in 
if he has time.  Looking back at the 2.3a release, I gather that this is 
what needs to be done:

1. Change 2.3a+ to 2.3b in NEWS and configure.ac, and set the release date 
in NEWS.

2. make dist, get someone to generate a sig, and then post the tarball and 
sig to:

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/bison/

I'm not sure how to do that.

3. Send a message similar to:

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2006-09/msg00012.html

to these lists: address@hidden, address@hidden, 
address@hidden, address@hidden

Sound right to you?
