+1 (non-binding)

- Verified source tarball checksum and signature
- Source tarball matches tag v5.1.0-rc1, no binaries
- Checked LICENSE/NOTICE, incl. bundled kafka-clients in
flink-sql-connector-kafka
- Staged Maven artifacts (-2.2 and -2.3) signed correctly, Java 11 bytecode
- CI green for Flink 2.2.1/2.3.0 on JDK 11/17/21
- Reviewed web PR

Nit: FLINK-41203 is still open with fixVersion kafka-5.1.0 but isn't in
this RC. Doc change so shouldnt make much change to the results
