Hi Tyler, could we shift the branch date by 2-3 days (or up to a week)?
There's a couple of PRs that I'd really like to see merged or decided on
(for optimize and stats mainly), and there's right now still 18 open PRs
marked for 1.2.0.

A note on the open PRs: what we want to aim for is to have the list of open
PRs and open blocking issues at zero, and have at most some non-blocking
issues under the milestone left. Normally the release manager starts making
those decisions, or pinging people, if other reviewers haven't done so in
time. Of course it would be ideal if everyone has another look at
https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+milestone%3A1.2.0
and bumps or finished off PRs he/she is involved in.

Cheers,
Ralf
