Hi, I also took a look at the release and can see some issues with it, it probably wouldn't pass an IPMC vote. When voting on a release I suggest you use a checklist (either an existing one) or one the project makes up. [1] I would also suggest you use the work in progress disclaimer [2] and list anything you think may be an issue. In particular this will help with your first release.
Thanks, Justin 1. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/Incubator+Release+Checklist 2. https://incubator.apache.org/policy/incubation.html#disclaimers
