HI, > Link to the discussion, please?
Been several - they are quite long - the 3rd one is probably the most relevant. 1. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/201405.mbox/%3cCAAS6=7jTVyaDhwepAqob-=83dxj-uams9gyg5j5xdhyybva...@mail.gmail.com%3e 2.http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/201405.mbox/%3cCAAS6=7hmsjj1atztoyee_qndppqvvsxmx58vwrcqug1po2o...@mail.gmail.com%3e 3. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/201405.mbox/%3ccaofyjnaqacy-jxuesx-v0pnsicckfvo_xkdemo-n5nt7y_j...@mail.gmail.com%3e A release is "a legal act guarded by responsible oversight" [1] and automating that means we lose the oversight, and "until the policy is changed, PMCs and RMs are expected and *required* to comply." [2]. Worse case the board will do this [3]. The script are certainly useful as a double check but IMO should not be use used as the sole reason to vote +1. At the very least we need to have a discussion re this method of checking release and a VOTE on it before introducing it. Given the legal ramifications (and our limited legal understanding) IMO we should err of the side of caution.
