Sorry, I think I understand what's happening now.  You had a mentor vote -1
at [1] and were looking for other IPMC members to review it since there was
no additional feedback on the release.  It's a little confusing that you
forwarded your dev@ vote thread to general@ so there was likely some
context missing on what the ask is.  Apologies for any confusion from me.

Looking at your release, I think you just appended
"resilientdb-v1.10.0-incubating" to all of your folders and root files.
This isn't required, we just ask that the source release be named with
"-incubating" somewhere in it.  It would be better if the source release
said "apache-resilientdb-incubating" or similar though.  The result of
appending the name though is your DISCLAIMER goes missing.  The one
distributed talks about Apache Answer, are you in fact using Answer? If not
maybe there was a copy/paste issue.  You may want to switch to
DISCLAIMER-WIP since this is your first release.

I attempted to run resilientdb-v1.10.0-incubatingINSTALL_MAC.sh on my
machine, it failed.
