I think is a good idea to have code names for the releases, but I'm not so sure about "cocktail names".
The only other naming convention we have is skin names: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices#HUsingbir...
Also not so sure that should be decided just by the release manager (there is quite a small list of people that do releases)
Any committer can perform releases, you just have to volunteer. Actually we want to encourage other developers to do releases, besides JV, Thomas and Sergiu. Releasing XWiki takes time and is an effort, this would be in my opinion just fair reward. Jerome.

Hello friends,
I would like to propose introducing the use of code names for each release cycle of XWiki (2.x, 3.x, etc.), using a agreed-on scheme (a la Ubuntu [1]). The main reason behind this proposal is that :
A. it's groovy :) B. there is no B.
As for the code name scheme, with regard to recent events involving a fair portion of the XWiki Development team [2], I would like to propose the use of cocktail names as code names. Some examples - for the sake of illustration : XWiki "Cuba Libre" 2.5, XWiki "White Russian" 2.6, XWiki "Bloody Mary" 3.0, etc. you name it! [3]. Virgin cocktails tolerated :)
The release manager for each cycle would have the honor to pick up the release code name. Isn't that an awesome incentive ?
+1 for all that
Jerome.
