Thanks Sean Busbey. I sent out a mail to common-dev, we'll see about what comes
back. Do you have references for these statements? I believe you, but I would
like a comprehensive guide for what's required. Else we're liable to still get
it wrong.

Sure. I'm guessing these are the two statements in question, if there was
another just let me know.
* LICENSE/NOTICE files should cover just the artifact in question gets covered
by the [ASF Release Policy section on
licensing|http://apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#licensing-documentation]
* Release votes have to be Majority gets covered by the [ASF Release Policy
section on
approval|http://apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#release-approval]

IIUC we don't need to list the copyrights for BSD and MIT licensed deps in
NOTICE. I'm not 100% sure how this applies to included JARs, but the
understanding for source files is that you just leave their copyright headers
and it's okay. Included JARs should also have their LICENSE/NOTICE in their own
META-INF dirs, which would also satisfy the copyright requirement.

That's correct, you should not include anything from BSD or MIT licensed deps
in NOTICE. That includes bundled JARs; in both source and bundled binary cases
you should have a reference in the LICENSE file for the included work. (ref
[licensing howto on permissive
licenses|http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#permissive-deps])
