To be accurate, the source release *is* the collection of bits that the release manager is using to produce binaries and other release artifacts. It's just a packaged svn export of the release tag. If the release manager can build and test the sources, then anyone else should be able do the same using the exact same set of bits. Verifying that is one of the key parts of the release vote. >From that perspective I'm even a bit worried about the idea of having an Ant target that exports and packages the tag, as it suggests that the release manager is not necessarily using that set of bits to build the release.
