Make it the focus of the community. Commit to supporting that release for bugs and security issues, on a nominated set of platforms, for a nominated period of time.

I recommend you watch Atila's upcoming DConf Online talk:

That will cover part of what you're asking about. And I expect 
that the revised governance proposal Mathias Lang is preparing to 
put forward in the coming weeks will create the framework where 
we'll be able to marshal and direct community resources 
(volunteered and paid) toward specific tasks to enhance the 
ecosystem. That includes the finalization/polishing of troubled 
language features and any potential changes to the release 
process.
