I suspect that you already are familiar with these boost web pages, but
just in case you aren't ...

The best links I could find referring to you questions are

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/StartModWorkflow#Releasenames

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SuperProjectWorkflow#Releasepreparation

Currently the timing, responsibility, etc. hasn't been documented (or at
least I'm not aware ot the docs).  I suspect the only place you'll find
your answers is by browsing the source in the release submodule repository
under tools.

I have noticed that the latest 1.56.0-beta1 release
<http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2014/07/215069.php> doesn't appear
to have tags in the repositories, nor is there a release/1.56.0 release
preparation branch created.  So I'm not sure the official release
preparations for 1.56.0 have started.
