Fair enough.

David mentions the assembly plugin makes this trivial.
Can someone link to step by step instructions?

As Arnaud says we have been bad previously and given the limited
resource on m-e-p to push releases it will be easier to let this one
slide.
If I can get the instructions I can ensure that future releases will
be fixed. But I don't have the capacity to create another release for
a while.

The release documentation
http://maven.apache.org/developers/release/releasing.html doesn't
mention anything about the ASF requirement.
I have some outstanding minor changes to that document so I will make
sure that something is added as well.
