It's ideal if your GPG key is in the web of trust (i.e. you can get it
signed by another PMC member), but is not 100% essential.

Speaking of the release, there are at least 2 code changes I still
want to get in

ARROW-5717
ARROW-6353

I just pushed updates to ARROW-5717, will merge once the build is green.

There are a couple of Rust patches still marked for 0.15. The rest
seems to be documentation and a couple of integration test failures we
should see about fixing in time.
