i'm on the Ant PMC and an ASF Member.... does that grant me the necessary privilege? i'm not really vying for privilege since we can get someone to copy the files for us, though.
please ask on infrastructure :)
if a new lucene release is expected then i'd be happy to hang around on this list for a while and give whatever help i can.
it'll take me a few days to squeeze in the time to deal with the build process and get it working right with all the JavaCC changes and such. but after that the build will be ready for a new release. i'm not sure what else is needed.
(stefan's been hanging around recently so hopefully he'll correct me when i go wrong.)

you'll need a release manager. the release will need to be prepared and a release VOTE won (as per usual). please remember to cc the jakarta pmc for the release VOTE. all the releasables need md5 sums and openpgp compatible signatures creating. it's recommended that the release manager use a separate (code signing) key for this. (this may require learning how gnugp or pgp works.)
