HI,

> In my mind, the release schedule looks like:
> - Feb 12th, B1
> - March 12th, B2
> - April 12th, Release X

On other projects I’ve worked on having a set release schedules was seen as a 
bit a hinderance for volunteers to contribute. It may also take some time and a 
few release candidates before a release is approved. But each project is 
different and up to you how you want do this.

> - ASF copyright headers: we've been lax in updating these

Would be required to pass a vote on the incubator so that’s a given :-)

> - Release packaging: how is Mynewt distributed?

Apache make source releases that are distributed via it’s mirrors. [1][2] You 
can also provide convenience binary releases. Perhaps aim for a source only 
release the first time around and then add convenience binary release in a 
later release?

>  Do we branch the larva repository, and distribute newt binaries that pull 
> from a specific branch of ASF infrastructure?

The release must be able to be recreated so the usual practice to make a 
release branch. The release vote will include the tag/hash of the software 
voted on. Apache distributes sources not binaries, but you can provide them as 
well for users convenience. [3][4]

> - JIRA: We need to get our bugs & features into JIRA, along with links to 
> JIRA from the Mynewt website.

I’d suggest make a JIRA with sub tasks for the release. Here’s an example [5]

Thanks,
Justin
