Blessing SVN versions would already be one possible release process. 
Even telling your users "use the latest SVN sources and compile your own 
binary" *is* in fact a (the smallest possible?) release process - every 
SVN version is it's own release.

BTW: Dirk does more than just blessing SVN versions.


Please replace your "JOSM don't have a release process" with "JOSM don't 
have the release process I know from other projects / would like to see".


I know from my daily work that having such a classical release process 
(that you seem to have in mind) can be a *lot* of additional effort. 
Unless you have someone who wants to spend this effort in his spare time 
/ get paid for it, the discussion about whats best for your users is 
pretty much pointless.


I'm not argueing that the JOSM releases could possibly be improved, but 
your "flame style" argumentation is not going to achieve a lot here ...
