New PRs with license change need to be properly notified and reviewed. Hopefully RAT check can be integrated as part of the nightly test. Otherwise new license issues will potentially block new releases.   
Broken link checks should be part of CI.   
The default source code zip file of a new release generated by Github doesn't include submodule source code, which means users cannot download the zip file on GitHub release page (e.g. https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/releases/tag/1.0.0). We need to upload complete code like the ones in https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/mxnet/1.1.0.rc0/

NEWS.md and README.md should be only updated on the release branch after the release branch is cut. It should not be updated on the master branch until the release has passed voting and officially announced. Otherwise broken links (links to the release tag) in NEWS/README will be visible to all users.
