Agreed.

I think it depends whether I'm supposed to become new maintainer for
0.21 (or whatever) or for 0.22.  In the former case, I think both
announcements should be done together (announcing new maintainer a
couple of hours before a release done by this very maintainer looks a
bit pointless).  In the latter, I think it's fine to either announce
together or after.

So basically I think that together makes sense.
