I've previously noted that releasing -rcs on a Friday afternoon isn't
good for ensuring coverage (this was what happened with 6.19.2 and
related releases...), the same is also true for releasing them on a
Saturday with a deadline that's very early on Monday for a lot of the
world.

I second that, and would like to suggest that when a stable RC release is done on a Friday afternoon or even on a Saturday, it would be better to extend the response deadline until Tuesday afternoon, so that people who want to help with testing have a chance to do so without having to "sacrifice" weekend/family time.
