Both the NetBSD & OpenBSD groups have 2 scheduled releases each year: one
on June 15th, and one on December 15th. I'd be in favor of adopting a
similar release schedule for Debian.
If we decide to do so, we must consolidate the testing team to be able to
test&fix the release within the current schedule, but I don't think it's
impossible to do.
