I don't completely agree, I think we need a vote for any release we

the Maven repository.
This would be overkilling, IMO.
I think you should ask on legal discuss if you really want to do
that. My understanding is that the legal foundation of the asf
involves the strict principle that all releases need to be voted on by
the pmc. You might possibly be able to argue that the TLP pom doesn't
include any code or anything copyrightable so doesn't need a vote
(although I think such arguments are exceedingly weak and the danger
of releasing without a vote is far greater than the nuisance of a
vote) but IIUC anything with code in it definitely requires a vote.
We usually don't release the TLP pom per se, it is only released if one
other part is released, so we _have_ a formal vote (usually :), for the
encapsulating project (apacheds, here).
What happened recently is just a catch up to fix some maven things in
the TLP pom. We will have to release it if we want to release shared of
apacheds, but until then, I still think it's unnecessary.
