[SciPy-Dev] Proposed SciPy 1.5.0 Release Schedule

[Tyler Reddy]

Any objections to bumping our minimum Cython version from 0.29.14 to
0.29.18 to support: https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/11385 ?

We do typically bump Cython versions regularly, though just a few days
before branching might be asking for trouble?

Best wishes,
Tyler
