+1 (non-binding)

* verified checksums and signatures for source and binary tarballs
* verified source tarball matches git tag
* verified can build from source with full-build,apache-release
profiles (ran into a few test issues that I don't understand, and am
assuming are local environment)
* unable to test Nexus staging repository (repository.apache.org is
currently blocking my IP range), but was able to mvn install and test
Apache Accumulo 2.1.5-SNAPSHOT using this version as a dependency
