2.7.0 will be released tomorrow, I anticipate. Our next release will be 2.8.0, I expect.
Some members of the IPMC, which is the group that will vote on our graduation one day, have expressed a preference for incubator projects to have more than one release manager before graduation. I am looking for a volunteer for 2.8.0. I have written up instructions here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/IMPALA/DRAFT%3A+How+to+Release You can contact me on- or off-list if you are interested. You must be a committer to be a release manager.
