I mean that what I was suggesting was a compromise between my other
desires and commitments, and the need to have a RM for Tails 1.1.

Good.

The 25th is already a bit late for me, since I'll be at a conference
on the 27-29, enjoying the hallway track and presenting Tails.

But still, this would be awesome, and very much welcome.

OK.

If you think you can build the final 1.1 as well, don't hesitate
stealing it from me. I mean it.

Alternatively, we could share things a bit, e.g. I could prepare the
.deb's (including the web browser?), Changelog, release notes, and
leave you the rest.

Go, go, go :)
