Happy to be part of the party too ! Just a note about released artifacts (see https://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html), the minimum artifact to vote and distribute is the source distribution. However, for convenience (to our users), we distribute binary artifacts. Python artifacts, published on PyPI.org, should be staged and reviewed during the release vote (as we do with runtime distribution, or helm chart, Docker images is a but different I will propose an improvement on the release process about that). The Release Guide (https://polaris.apache.org/community/release-guide/) is pretty clear about the artifacts to stage and vote on.
So, before publishing any Python artifact, that should be reviewed and be part of the release vote. We should probably update the release guide about that.
