Please see "Create the Release Candidate with the Commons Release Plugin." here: https://commons.apache.org/releases/prepare.html Before our plugin, you had to follow "Create the Release Candidate Manually" (same page). I'm not sure what is done under the covers WRT the Maven release plugin.

It's a giant pain ATM IMO. Creating a release candidate [1] is "easy" compared to what has to happens after a successful VOTE [2]. It should be easier instead of 50 steps.
