Hi Andres, It's been on my TODO list to incorporate JReleaser where we can but I haven't found the cycles to date. Your suggestion is certainly a possibility!
The release process (two phases to allow for ASF voting) is driven by the Gradle scripts in: https://github.com/apache/groovy-release/ These in turn call into the normal build from https://github.com/apache/groovy as needed. So, a PR (or two) could be against either (or both) of these repos. In some ways it would be nice to drive everything from within the groovy repo itself but that isn't a thing for the next release! In terms of what happens now, phase2.gradle in the groovy-release repo has the announceReleaseOnSDKman task which ultimately triggers the current tweet from sdkman. The email is crafted by the proposeAnnouncementEmail task but currently cut-n-pasted by the release manager and sometimes adjusted by hand. It is sent to the Groovy dev, users and ASF-wide announce mailing lists. At the moment, we don't have the credentials for @ApacheGroovy (on twitter) or @apachegro...@fosstodon.org as info necessarily needed by release managers (though possibly we should). Also, in order for the email to the ASF announce mailing list to pass through moderation, it needs to be sent from an Apache email address. This isn't part of the current automation. I'm happy to help where I can. Cheers, Paul.
