Tom Stellard did the previous 3.4.2 release. I'm not sure if he plans
on doing any 3.5.x releases.

It maybe a bit early to do a 3.5.1 release though.

We have one branch per point release, and we tag each micro release:
http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project/llvm/branches/
http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project/llvm/tags/

Although I don't see 3.4.1. =/

In that case, merging to the 3.5 release branch is the correct procedure to
get it in 3.5.1.

The 3.4.1 tag is in the RELEASE_34 tag directory, we moved to the new 
tag names starting with 3.4.2.
