You may want to notify general@ as a courtesy. Wicket did that to ease any tensions that might occur. Just make sure the release notes and all publications clearly state that the release is not endorsed by the foundation. For example [1 <http://wicketframework.org/wicket-1.2/>]:

As such, this release of the > Wicket project is not endorsed or approved by the Apache Software > Foundation. The Apache Software Foundation is in no way affiliated with this > release. > This worked well for the Wicket project.
