I'm sure that page has not been updated in a very long time so it is likely very out of date. I had thought 3.9.6 was going to be used but 3.10.0 would be fine too with the bigger update to C++ 17
There is a general guide for release signing here: https://infra.apache.org/release-signing.html but usually gpg is configured to work with Maven during the release (if using Maven): https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-gpg-plugin/index.html The Maven release plugin is usually used to create releases which will handle the work for you and I checked the pom for the CPP project and it appears to still <https://github.com/apache/activemq-cpp/blob/16514f3b976db48d894a06e2aeb8749e46fc2030/pom.xml#L208> be the case as that link shows where the gpg plugin is set up to run during the release process using Maven. I also see the maven release plugin and everything set up in that pom so creating a release should just be using the Maven release plugin to do the work which would create the distribution/tags and stage everything.
