In addition to the LICENSE and NOTICE cleanups, I created a script to create the ASF release on cj/6422 [1]. It updates the CHANGES file, tags the repo, creates the release artifact, signs and checksums it, and prompts for and fills in the [VOTE] thread template.
This should help smooth our release process, make them more consistent, and ensure we follow the proper forms. Please take a look and let me know if anything needs to be added or tweaked. Cory [1] https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-allura.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/cj/6422
