Let me rephrase: when I say "prospects for that", I mean "probability of occurring". It sounds like you mean "how long would that take" or "how much work would that be"? I think it would take a day, plus a new three-day voting period. You can see the process described here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/IMPALA/DRAFT%3A+How+to+Release I think I'd have to do steps 9-15 again, minus a couple of them. The real delay is the new voting period.
