If ever we really needed to push out builds more frequently I would
just do it from Sonatype. I've given up trying to be truly agile at
Apache, it's just not going to happen.

The ASF requires a vote on the artifacts being released. You can't
just sign a blank cheque for any future release. On that basis
someone could put something that isn't allowed (e.g. a copy of some
GPL code) into maven and then just cut an alpha release.
I tried to find something in the ASF docs, but the release FAQ only
says "Each PMC must obey the ASF requirements on approving any
release" - but I can't find something that specifically says what
the "requirements on approving any release" are.
http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html
That's written up under http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html
Adding a link to the voting doc from the release doc would probably
be wise, but it's always a huge mess when somebody tries to modify
release.html :-)
