+1 to what Noah said above. As an alternative, in CloudStack, the release script tags the RM's local repo during the process of generating the source artifacts with a proper release number tag (clearly indicating the specific release number, not the RC), but it is not pushed upstream to the ASF repo until the VOTE passes.
