Hello, Allowing CI to automate part of the release process is now approved by LEGAL and some projects are already taking advantage of it. For more information check out the respective thread [1].
The Calcite release preparation is quite automated already so we may not really need this at this point but sharing the news since it is a topic that has been discussed a lot in ASF the past few years. Best, Stamatis [1] https://lists.apache.org/thread/y5b375054p1yjb2yprnnt16bt4qyccc2
