Thanks for starting this! I agree being a release manager. I did the last releases for Stratosphere and know how the Maven / release stuff works. This guide is also relevant for releasing: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html
We should certainly have FLINK-629 fixed for the 0.6 release. I think everyone I know who is using Flink stumbled into it. Another issue that is affecting a lot of users is this one: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-610. I would really like to see them both fixed in the 0.6 release As a preparation for the release, I requested access (5 days ago) to the Apache Maven infrastructure: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-8026 (we also need this for publishing SNAPSHOT versions) I will look into the details of requesting a dist space where we can distribute the release binaries.
