With my slow DSL, I've started to wonder anyway if we really need (to upload/provide) those src archives. If someone wants to get involved, they should fetch the trunk from the svn.
We're an open source project, so the most important part of the release is the source!
While many users will just grab the binary package or the binary jars from maven central, both from an ASF policy perspective, and from growing new developers, we need to always provide a full buildable source. People wanting to do a small bug fix for their release in production, or just to learn about the code, will want and need that source release.
My problem is, that I have (quite probably) a competition next week starting on Wednesday (so no Tuesday night hacking) and the vote period is getting short.
Normally I'd volunteer to help, but sadly I'm travelling and/or low on internet wednesday-sunday next week
Maybe we try one last time, and if that doesn't work, hold off a week or so for you to get back from your competition?
