>From the past few releases I've learned that getting from branching to final
release should take a bit over a month. So here's my proposal for the
release schedule (leaving a good gap for Christmas):
Dec 10: create branch 0.9.x (last date for getting new features in)
Dec 12: beta 1
Jan 16: release candidate 1 (last date for non-critical bug fixes)
Jan 23: release candidate 2 (if needed)
Jan 30: release 0.9.0

Cheers,
Ralf
