I think the main point here is the testing of the release script, not the 
creation of the official release.

I think there should be an option to configure the release tool to use a forked 
github repo and/or a private playground nexus instead of official apache repos. 
In this case it would be easy to test regularly the tool, even by a 
non-committer (or even from Jenkins). But it would be just a smoketest of the 
release script...

        Just a reminder that any such build cannot be used for an actual 
release:
