very brief summary of the process (missing details):
- if we're happy with the code,
- we need to review the documentation,
- decide on a version number,
- add release notes for this release,
- then we build, sign and upload the artefact's to make them available for review,
- vote on the release artefact's then post a release vote to IPMC,
- once this passes, we upload the release artefact's,
- then they become available from the apache mirror sites.
