Ismael mentioned[1] that there is confusion about how to release and validate vendored artifacts.
I have created this doc[2] and could use guidance from the community to validate its contents. Feel free to comment on the doc or this thread. Note that I used our release guide[3] as a basis for drafting it and removed all the sections that didn't seem relevant. I'll put the doc to a vote after a few days of feedback to accept it as a process change and have it incorporated into the website. 1: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/bed6971afb751b2facf9c48bad76ce025281b1d3554813e35c0b4c52@%3Cdev.beam.apache.org%3E 2: https://s.apache.org/beam-release-vendored-artifacts 3: https://beam.apache.org/contribute/release-guide/
