Well, the key is to see the target. That target is to have an artifact such as a tar file that can be verified to be exactly what Apache releases. That means that it has to be cryptographically signed and inspected in exactly the released form. That release should also be traceable back to a specific commit in Apache's git repo.
Early discussions can talk about the state of JIRA, or look at specific versions of the code or whatever, but when it comes down to voting on a release, there has to be a specific file that is voted on. The vote, btw, is not primarily to do with whether the code functions. That is nice, but not even required. What the vote is all about is whether the release meets the Apache legal requirements for licensing. That vote then is translated into the PMC chairs action of saying that the release is an official Apache release. That release action, in turn, engages the legal machinery of the Apache license. So.... The first step is to build the distribution artifact and sign it. It will probably take a number of tries to get the build system to automate the correct construction of such a source distribution and also to get all of the license notifications in place.
