[scikit-learn] Preparing a scikit-learn 0.18.2 bugfix release

[Andreas Mueller]

I would like to release in may, before the sprint.
That is, if we are happy with where the codebase is at then.
If someone feels like they have the time end energy to create 0.18.2,
and we have enough reviewers to ensure quality, I'm not opposed.
I just won't be able to be of any help.
