I can also take the release, so if you're too busy Andrew just ping me and I'll step in.
Regarding the LGPL thing, I have some doubts. Reading the ASF legal FAQ [1] it seems that we can't include LGPL licenses, but the point here is that we are *not* distributing the LGPL licensed software. A jclouds release consists *only* of the jclouds source code, and that does not include any source files licensed under LGPL. Using LGPL dependencies is not clear to me, though. I've searched the archives and found this thread [2], where it seems to say that having build/test dependencies might be OK from the ASF perspective, but it is not clear to me. In the end, all what we distribute is Apache licensed, but in order to be able to build/run this ASF licensed software, one may need to download an external LGPL licensed library. It would be great if someone with better knowledge could give some light on this, and if LGPL dependencies can be used. I.
