'private releases' doesn't make any sense.

"Private release" to me means that it's a published artifact not vetted by an ASF PMC's binding vote.

'Private' describes and artifact not shared with the public, so this
is a really weird discussion :)

'Personal' or 'non-ASF' release would describe something, as you say,
that is not an ASF release.  That includes most vendor redistributions
of things such as httpd server (each with their own customizations, not
reviewed or released by the ASF).

The usual problem is that the individual or organization releasing code
assumes the onus of whatever IP issues arise from that code, and aught
to presume the ASF wouldn't spend legal resources on such things (but
on protecting the authors and actual ASF releases from IP claims.)  Once
the code is released by the ASF, the ASF becomes the publisher.

So feel free to do so, but recognize that the missing 3 +1's for release
deprive the publisher of an ally in resolving such claims.
