-This repository contains utilities for [Apache 
Flink](https://flink.apache.org/) connectors.
\ No newline at end of file
+This is a collection of release utils for [Apache 
Flink](https://flink.apache.org/) connectors.
+
+# Integration
+
+The scripts assume that they are integrated into a connector repo as a 
submodule into the connector repo
+under `tools/releasing/<some directory>`.
+
+# Usage
+
+Some scripts rely on environment variables to be set.  
+These are checked at the start of each script.  
+Any instance of `${some_variable}` in this document refers to an environment 
variable that is used by the respective
+script.
+
+## check_environment.sh
+
+Runs some pre-release checks for the current environment, for example that all 
required programs are available.  
+This should be run once at the start of the release process.
+
+## publish_snapshot_branch.sh
+
+Creates (and pushes!) a new snapshot branch for the current commit.  
+The branch name is automatically determined from the version in the pom.  
+This script should be called when work on a new major/minor version has 
started.
+
+## update_branch_version.sh
+
+Updates the version in the poms of the current branch to `${NEW_VERSION}`.
+
+## stage_source_release.sh
+
+Creates a source release from the current branch and pushes it via `svn`
+to [dist.apache.org](https://dist.apache.org/repops/dist/dev/flink).  
+The version is automatically determined from the version in the pom.  
+The created `svn` directory will contain a `-rc${RC_NUM}` suffix.
+
+## stage_jars.sh
+
+Creates the jars from the current branch and deploys them to 
[repository.apache.org](https://repository.apache.org).  
+The version will be suffixed with `-${FLINK_MINOR_VERSION}` to indicate the 
supported Flink version.  
+If a particular version of a connector supports multiple Flink versions then 
this script should be called multiple
+times.
+
+## publish_git_tag.sh
+
+Creates a release tag for the current branch and pushes it to GitHub.
+The tag will be suffixed with `-rc${RC_NUM}`, if `${RC_NUM}` was set.  
+This script should only be used _after_ the `-SNAPSHOT` version suffix was 
removd via `update_branch_version.sh`.
+
+## update_japicmp_configuration.sh
+
+Sets the japicmp reference version in the pom of the current branch to 
`${NEW_VERSION}`, enables compatibility checks
+for `@PublicEvolving` when used on snapshot branches an clears the list of 
exclusions.  
+This should be called after a release on the associated snapshot branch. If it 
was a minor release it should
+additionally be called on the `main` branch.
+
+# Common workflow
+
+1. run `publish_snapshot_branch.sh`
+2. do some development work on the created snapshot branch
+3. checkout a specific commit to create a release from
+4. run `check_environment.sh`

Review Comment:
   Basically the issue is that creating a snapshot branch will sometimes not be 
done by a release manager.
   For example, after the ES 3.0 release we have a v3.0 branch and a main 
branch on 4.0-SNAPSHOT. v3.1 would be created by _someone_ when we want to make 
some change that requires a new minor version.
   
   So all the other things the check does just aren't required.
