For unrelated reasons, I today split out the Apache-ness part of the Maven release process (still syncing): http://maven.apache.org/developers/release/apache-release.html
It could still use more work, but that's all I have time for right now if someone wants to patch it (eg, to explain the parent POM reference needed), or move it to /dev, or whatever. That means there's a document that can be up to date for anyone wanting to do a Maven based release at Apache at a given time. To track common infrastructure, new plugins, and so on, I suggest subscribing to annou...@maven.apache.org. For example, we've just had: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-announce/200911.mbox/%3c4afc90a0.7020...@apache.org%3e (we don't seem to be announcing parent POMs there, so that should change in the future). I believe that's enough to track what is needed, and much more appropriate than trying to follow it on board@, pmcs@, committers@, or gene...@incubator which are not the right forums. Does that work for those concerned about it? We could entertain creating another list @maven, or post notices to infrastructure@, but I don't see the added value...
