Hi Chris, I was planning to either help Martin or volunteer myself to be the RM. But if you have cycles, thats really nice. Few more thoughts on improving the release process:
I think rat check have to be part of release steps which saves significant time in verifying the license header. Also, I suggest to use different assembly for source and binaries so license and notice files can be captured separately and bundled accordingly. I think once we stream line the release process (and automate as much as possible) and document clearly the steps, subsequent releases will be very easy and painless.
