Merge lp:~brian-murray/ubuntu-archive-tools/time-to-release into lp:ubuntu-archive-tools

[Brian Murray]

This is in response to comments #120+ in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1766137. People were pretty anxious to see the fix, understandably so, and maybe this'll help people understand the process better. I decided not to update the wiki page because it seems unlikely that people will click on links.

I want to bikeshed the new wording a bit so it flows right...

"can take" and "at least" seem to be conflicting a bit, at least to me. We're saying that it typically takes 7 days, when my understanding has always been that this is the rule, although exceptions can be made. Then we say that it takes "at least" 7 days, meaning that it can take more even if the verification is done. On first glance, it seems like it's fine, but SRUs aren't accepted on weekends, right? There are some cases where a package is accepted into -proposed and a week from that is a holiday for some, but I'd still call that unordinary.
