I did try to use the plugin last time, but there's a problem with my
security setup, and the plugin doesn't work for me. I'd like to setup
a new workstation soon, but it probably won't happen this calendar
year.

The underlying problem is that the ASF expects us to sign all the
JARs, which complicates the release process, and creates a bar toward
other volunteers stepping up and helping.

Ironically, the reason we sign the JARs is to help protect the release
managers from individual liability.
