Yes, although I'm hoping that now commons-build-plugin has been released that will be adopted for generating the download pages - I'm planning to raise that once that plugin is in a release of commons-parent (hopefully version 8 which is being voted on now).

Very few of us actually know all of the steps, though. Like everything here it needs volunteers willing to take that role. If I have spare cycles at the time, I would be willing to do some releases and I don't mind being asked.
