In the past press releases were hacked about with on the private PR list or on
occasion the also private MarCon list, for obvious reasons. Is there a policy
for creating such marketing materials here at Apache.

Apache has a Press team led by the wonderful Sally here:
http://www.apache.org/press/
Who tweets regularly:
http://twitter.com/TheASF
Any Apache press releases should be coordinated with them on
[email protected] - once the PPMC here has some specific questions about
publicity here, you should ping press@ to get a conversation started
there.
Note that the Apache Incubator has specific policies about press
releases for incubating projects:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/branding.html
In terms of *what* to say, it's up to the project to decide, and
typically just get any final signoff from press@. The ASF has a
corporate press release account and will issue official releases for
major news from any of our projects.
Oh, and the official ASF boilerplate is available:
