Agreed; just go ahead and push whatever you have right now.
Regardless of whether it matches David's or my suggestion.

But as a general note, I recommend to re-use existing news items
as much as possible (i.e. copy&paste to announce the latest
lilypond report, only changing numbers and links.  Copy&paste
release announcements, candidate rejections, etc.  If you just
copy what we currently do (or recently did), then there'll be less
thinking and discussion about whether the new plan is good or not.

Even more general tip about "cat herding" (i.e. open-source
developer management): if something isn't worth discussing, then
try to make sure that nobody has anything to discuss.  Many
lilypond policies are designed with that guideline.
