Mickael Maison, who drives the release for 2.7.1, wrote an email last Friday, that the release finally has passed the voting and he right now continues with the release process. The libraries were uploaded to Maven Central on Monday as far as I can see. So I guess at the moment he is finishing the distribution to have it available on the Kafka website. If I'm not mistaken, you can expect a release later this week.

Exactly what is the status of this release? Thanks.
