Actually for 3.6.x the workflow has changed slightly.

Step 5 has been added, so in the next few days Ian will be setting
those signed off bugs to passed qa, I will do a final test, then merge
to master.
I then make a note for Chris N, whether I think they are suitable for
3.4.x. We have a wiki page for this

http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Commits_to_cherry-pick_for_3.4

And then he makes the final decision on what to pull in.

There is another link (should be on the bottom of the bugzilla page)
or at http://koha-releasemanagement.branchable.com/ for a list of bugs
that are sitting at passed qa.

This frees me up to do some signoffs on patches too, and get them to
the signed off state, as someone else (Ian) will still look at them
too. And having me do the final sign off affords Ian the opportunity
to. It means we can both sign off on patches without the risk of
either of us being the only sign off. So every patch gets at least 2
sign offs, most 3, and we have a rock solid 3.4.x and 3.6.0 :)
