Also wanted to say that the title I used for this email thread was probably not the best for clarity, but when I was talking about release I was conveying the process of publishing a milestone to maven nexus repo and not a formal ASF release. Nothing I am mentioning is pertaining to an actual ASF release, rather something like a more permanent snapshot (which aren't formal ASF releases hence why they don't need votes).
