When this was discussed with Jon and others, indication was that the announcement should happen in September, and the actual rollout, if all is good, happens a few weeks after that (more or less).
The venue for the announcement is VP Technical for en.wp, and main VP at Wikidata (following a pattern we've used with other communities).
The research pages for the project are being updated.

I have set up a meeting with Jon during Wikimania to chat about details.
I have also worked at the draft of the announcement.

I think that a fair characterization of the work being done in this project is that ownership of this task switched to other CLs while I was away, and now there are also others supporting communications. CLs have provided perspectives, internal support etc. I'm trying to understand where and how I can currently help, and what to do with this task now.

I have retitled, and reassigned to myself to indicate I am still the main point of contact for what concerns related activities in which we are to be involved.
Comment Actions
We participated to the thinking and drafting behind the current implementation proposal. (To be fair, the current conversations aren't specifically, necessarily about the rollout of description editing in apps any longer.)
Comment Actions
At least 3 of us are involved in ongoing work, but we definitely aren't the ones leading public communications, so reflecting priority, for the time being. (Related work doesn't seem to be a quarterly goal for Readers, so there's that.)
