I think having semi-annual releases would be good but I don't think
they should be tied to any distro. Popularity of Linux distributions
shifts in the wind and with the ability for users to pull updates from
the internet, being tied to a release is largely irrelevant. Having
good criteria for semi-annual releases should be the topic at the next
wineconf though, unless that criteria falls to the benevolent dictator
in chief for life.
