Is this a special requirement of this build? If so, why?

I followed the directions for the release preparation at 
https://commons.apache.org/releases/prepare.html and generated the release 
notes with „mvn changes:announcement-generate -Prelease-notes“ and the vote 
e-mail with „mvn commons-release:vote-txt“ as recommended. What is wrong with 
this procedure?

Actually, no. log4j is an optional dependency.

This *is* part of the description. You cannot tag changes in changes.xml. I 
remember discussions about making releasing easier. Every *manual* step such as 
writing release notes does not follow this direction, IMO.

The japicmp report recommends a 0.1.0 release which it is.

Would you please consider voting?
