 Before you start:
 
+* Send an email to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) 
notifying that RC build process
+  is starting and therefore `master` branch is in code freeze until further 
notice.
 * Set up signing keys as described above.
 * Make sure you are using JDK 8 (not 9 or 10).
+* Make sure `master` branch and `site` branch are in sync, i.e. there is no 
commit on `site` that has not
+  been applied also to `master`. You can check by doing `git checkout site; 
git rebase -i master`.
+  If they are not in sync, cherry-pick the missing commit(s) into `master`.

Review comment:
       Oh, I guess it would be better to use `git switch site && git rebase 
--empty=drop master && git switch master && git reset --hard site` to avoid 
accidental `git reset --hard` in case one of the previous commands fail :)
