Please review the release policy
https://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#source-packages

In particular, they say "A source release SHOULD not contain compiled code".
As xalan-test contains many jars with compiled code,
you should rather NOT include xalan-test in its current shape into
xalan-java source packages.

At the same time, they say "Each PMC MUST obey the ASF requirements on
approving any release."

>Or should xalan-test have its own distros?

That would be overhead without much benefit.
It would be better to integrate tests into xalan-java code eventually.
