The "pumpkin" term comes from Perl-land...

I'm not super clear on the pumpkin-holders's entire job, but I think it is
basically the guy who sees that the version for which he "holds the
pumpkin" is completed and shipped. Not necessarily by himself :-), but as
the overseer (or "release manager" if you will).

The current Perl pumpkin-holder is a guy at ActiveState. I think it
changes for each version.

Cheers,
