 Whomever decides to fix this should note that the core team doesn't 
 decide to do releases, the RE team does.  I don't know what the 
 question was, but the answer doesn't seem to reflect reality.

 The patch of this PR doesn't apply to the FAQ.  It's not very clear to
 me what needs to be changed either.  We can change "core" to
 "release-engineering" though.
 
 How about this?

 I think we should change "core" to "release-engineering" too. The original PR
 was that "release" should be "releases". The reason for that seems clear to me.
 Since they are going to be releasing more than one version, we say "The RE
 team only releases when...", instead of "The RE team only release when...".

 And while we are here, why not just use &a.re; instead? :)
 
 G'luck,

 This sentence claims to be an Epimenides paradox, but it is lying.

I ended up rewriting about half of the FAQ in question, but it does 
have your grammatical fix in it.  :-) 

Thanks!
