[boost] [boost 1.61] authorization to merge to master

Dear Boost, I would like to merge a boost.test bugfix to master. Those changes are running on develop for a week. I haven't done my PR for the website change log update because of that (would change the content of the PR). According to the schedule, boost 1.61 is open for bugfixes since 10 days now, but as I understood, we are still waiting for post RC2 go. - do I still have time for the website PR? - would the opening 1.61 for bugfixes be announced on the ML? - Am I allowed to merge those changes, so that I can reopen develop for post 1.61 developments? Thanks, Raffi Enficiaud
