May 2016 release plans

Hey folks,

We are closing in on a v2.0.0beta release. As part of this we finished off
almost all of the isses tagged as v1.5.2
<https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/milestones/1.5.2%20(Critical%20bug%20fix%20release)>
and
will not be adding anymore issues to that list after tomorrow. The plan is
to tag a v1.5.2rc1 this upcoming weekend (May 21 or 22).

If there are any last minute issues, please speak up.

Please focus any development time you have in the next few weeks on dealing
with the outstanding 2.0 issues!

Tom
