No. There is currently no monolithic released planned at all.

Only if someone does all the work of automating such a release, engage
with the community to discuss the approach and is willing to adjust to
community feedback, only then I as the release manager might make
those steps part of the release process. I'm not aware of anyone who
has shown even remote interest in this task.

I'm not aware of any specific documentation. www.buildout.org and the
distutils-sig mailing list [1] would be the appropriate places to
look.
