Can you release 8 projects in 45 minutes?

My first branch commit was at 5:40, the last at 6:18 averaging 5  
minutes per project to:

quality check \*  
branch \*  
package  
upload to rubyforge  
announce on rubyforge  
draft email  
commit branch \*

- not handled by hoe

I bulked all my email sends into one operation afterwards for another  
~ five minutes.

I even had to delete and re-release one package because I forgot to  
update the gemspec correctly when I converted it to Hoe.

(If super-easy releases aren’t enough, you also get featured on the  
Hoedown.)
