I agree with Ted and Paul that we should only vote on the actual signed distribution that's going to be uploaded. It's easy to imagine accidentally introduce a problem when you're building the final distribution. I wouldn't be comfortable uploading anything to dist/ unless it had been looked at by others.
I'd guess 90+% of other open source projects seem to do just fine doing all the testing and voting before the release. I understand the concern of screwing things up from a release manager standpoint, but that tells me we need better tests, a more automatic Maven build, etc. We don't require reviews after every commits because we trust the committer. Releases should be braindead easy. If they were, and everyone had tested the code beforehand and given their thumbs up, a release should be basically automatic, something we can trust to another committer without looking over their shoulder. Ok, so if you don't think this is the answer to the backwards release then test problem, what is? Don
