Sorry for the late reply. I sadly have very limited time for Apache work
these days.

The commit log is incidental. It would ideally have no repeated versions,
but it's hardly a transgression if it does. Likewise, it's not a
requirement of the ASF that our releases never skip version numbers. It
would be nice if they did not, but again, it's not a serious issue. Put
otherwise, logs and versions are there to serve the creation of a release.
And "release" is the word we need to take seriously.  We did not release
4.2. We still could. We could also move on and release 4.2.1. As long as we
are clear that if we didn't get three +1 votes on a build, then it can't be
called a release, and thus is not a released version.
