In the past our release criteria was "get three Incubator PMC members
to vote +1"

What is the standard now? Here are some questions to consider.

Generally speaking, those adding new features to Roller have the
responsibility to test and fix the features they're adding before we
make a release.

Once we've reached consensus that such testing is done, a release
should be made and we start creating release candidates do we simply
require three +1 votes from Roller committers to make the final
release?

Are you allowed to vote +1 if you have not downloaded, installed and
at least done a quick sanity test (e.g. posting entries, trying a new
feature or two) on the release files? I'm pretty sure the answer is
no.

When a new RC is released does that invalidate existing votes on the
release? Not sure about this one. I guess it depends on the extent of
the changes. When I'm doing a release I want at least one person other
than me to sanity test the build.

How do other Apache projects handle this?

I downloaded the packages and verified all of the sigs.
I installed from the tar.gz binary (only) from scratch without problem.

I'm +1 on release if you're comfortable that the XSS issues prompting the
new RC were resolved by the fixes.
