Here's the policy: http://www.apache.org/dev/release#what What Is A Release? Releases are, by definition, anything that is published beyond the group that owns it. In our case, that means any publication outside the group of people on the product dev list. If the general public is being instructed to download a package, then that package has been released. Each PMC must obey the ASF requirements on approving any release. [...] So it's not that packages published to npm (or any other downstream distribution channel) don't require a VOTE, it's that npm packages should also be published to dist (and require a VOTE).
