Not required by any policy I know of. Enis did it during the 0.99 release line and it's largely continued in 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and upcoming 2.0 AFAIK. easiest to see how well it's been kept up if you look through the tags in the github interface: https://github.com/apache/hbase/tags I couldn't find any discussion; seems mostly just like folks copying the habit from the prior time.
