---------------------------------------
This is the email template I usually use to try to prod people and provide some
extremely basic guidance. I think we could adapt this as a starting point for a
purely manual version.

If you have time in the next few hours, I'd love it if you provided a
non-binding vote on the Accumulo $\{version} RC$\{rc number}.
Vote thread (includes links for downloading candidate, signatures, hashes):
$\{link to rc vote}
ASF guide on running gpg to verify signatures:
http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html#verifying-signature
The Accumulo release governance page explains how to run the unit and
integration tests:
http://accumulo.apache.org/governance/releasing.html#stand-alone
Note that all you need to do when voting is signature and hash checking.
Running any of the tests is just a bonus. The vote closes at $\{vote close
datetime}.
If I can answer any other questions to help you get the information you need to
vote, let me know!
