Good question Pont, I really don’t know how foundation team decides about the release date, I remember that i saw an official release topic note in my Gmail notifier last year for the 0.9.6.1 & that was exactly the same time as i was about zipping-up and replying back the Persian language files for the installer!, Maybe we need some highlighted deadline or call it the insurance for internationalization purposes?, Ill ask this from foundation team and let you know what i get 
I’ll set some deadlines, but I can’t really make anyone respect them; here goes anyway:
RC1 - Thursday, May 22; due now, new features closed
RC2 - Wednesday, May 28th; core language file changes closed
GA (final) - Monday, June 2nd
This means feature additions are closed for 0.9.6.2 (only bug fixes will be merged once I release RC1) and the language file is closed to any changes as of RC2 release on May 28th.
This is obviously aggressive, and will likely be subject to delays, but perhaps it will provide a target and motivation to get up-to-date language packs from as many contributors as possible into the final release, sooner than later.
