> Components: Documentation
> Reporter: Richard Zowalla
> Assignee: Richard Zowalla
> Priority: Minor
>
> The current release documentation could be improved to prevent common
> mistakes and streamline the release process. The following updates should be
> made:
> # *Avoid Squashing Release Commits*
> ** Add a clear instruction to *not squash* release commits when merging
> GitHub pull requests related to releases.
> ** Instead, contributors should use *rebase* to preserve the individual
> commits, which are important for tracking changes and debugging.
> # *Clarify Voting Email Requirements*
> ** Emphasize that after a successful vote, a *new email* must be sent to the
> mailing list.
> ** This email should clearly include a [{{{}RESULT]{}}} header to indicate
> the outcome of the vote.
> ** This helps with visibility and proper record-keeping within the community
> / list server and is common ASF practice.
> # *Suggest Creating a GitHub Release*
> ** Add a hint or recommendation to create a *GitHub Release* after a
> successful merge.
> ** This allows tools like *Dependabot* and *Renovate* to detect new versions
> and release notes, improving downstream dependency updates.
