I am not subscribed to that list. Can you elaborate on the process of moving release votes to a different mirror/fork? Our votes, of course, happen on the mailing list. The tagging happens in the official git repo. We do not have any oficially-recognized-yet-unofficial mirrors, and the idea that we would make a github mirror for the sole purpose of tagging commits that Github would then consider releases of apache-impala-incubating-mirror-only-for-votes seems byzantine.
