+1 (non binding) I checked (on the source distribution): - Signature is good (Apache Arrow Automated Release Signing key, present in KEYS) - SHA-256 and SHA-512 checksums are good (SHA-512 matches the vote email) - Source tarball content is identical to the apache-arrow-26.0.1-rc1 tag (commit 9e5d6978e9acf372cc989aaaf94e863fe8582c90) - LICENSE and NOTICE look good - No compiled code/binaries in the source distribution (only images and test data) - RAT check passes (using dev/release/rat_exclude_files.txt) - Version is 26.0.1 across all components - Bundled Brotli is 1.2.1 (GH-55165 is included)
