Yes. It may be easier to script everything if we move the web hosting to SourceForge, which is under active consideration. (The current procedures use some GUI steps that don't script easily, and the current host doesn't allow shell access.)

What about release candidates? It wouldn't hurt to have someone else look at it before calling it a release and it's quite easy to do. All it costs is some time, but I think we should invest a few days in more stable releases. Also, it's orthogonal to scripting the release procedure. :)
