Ian,

yes, the Jira API changed when we moved from Codehaus and the Python 
script is broken. Not as smooth as your last releases in 2014.

The undocumented manual procedure is to for each project:

- Manually perform the release in Administration / Versions and release 
the version using the "..." on the right-hand side

- Create the next unreleased version for the series (13.6 and 2.7.6 in 
your case.

- Search for problematic fixVersions, that is, Unresolved issues (Open, 
In Progress, or Reopened) for the released version and read the 
comments. Was the issue really resolved for this version? If so, leave 
the fixVersion, otherwise remove it. fixVersion means was fixed; this is 
not an aspirational field. If you are really puritanical you can check 
all issues to make sure no Resolved issues were Won't-Fix: these should 
have no fixVersions. This is more than the script ever did but is worth 
the effort for a good quality changelog. And on maintenance the effort 
is tiny.

GeoTools 13.5:
https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/projects/GEOT/versions/12000

For this issue with fixVersion 13.5 Torben wrote: "I was not able to 
backport to 13.x due to API incompatibility." so remove 13.5 from 
fixVersions (you can also search the git log of 13.x for the issue):
https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOT-5318

GeoServer 2.7.5:
https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/projects/GEOS/versions/11902

Looks like there is already a GS 2.7.6 version (naughty, naughty, Jira 
makes is far too easy for an administrator to inadvertently add a 
version); someone has an issue for it:
https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-7353
Comment here suggests Andrea backported to 2.7.x, so check GitHub 
commits to confirm and change the fixVersion from 2.7.6 to 2.7.5:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/1375

All the issues for 2.7.5 are resolved so just release the version and 
you have your changelog.

Kind regards,
Ben.
