Apache releases source artifacts - the binaries are just convenience. That said, it seems there is a policy saying *all* releases must be on /dist, www.apache.org/dev/release.html#mirroring It has mirroring reasons (so far I understood) but it is also necessary to let a few of users download releases from the super-official dist folder, because they need it for several reasons (maybe government or so). This policy has been discussed the past days and it seems there is no change in sight. that said, we just need to commit our release to the release svn - it should be a trivial task actually, if we find the right process.
