I added the below steps to our how-to-release page here:
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/HowToRelease#preview.
Amz gave hbase credits in account you can log in too with user id '
st...@apache.org'. I can pass committers the password. We could use this
account for doing releases among other things such as release smoke test.
I like image names that have asf or apache in them as per j-d suggestion:
apache-hbase or apache-hadoop-hbase?
Good stuff,
St.Ack
