Craig, you are absolutely right - this is exactly what I meant by
'getting too excited' :-)

Hi Andrus,
Yes, there is a difference between consensus to make a release
(begin the release process) and approval of a release (after the
release artifacts are available for testing etc.).
I'd suggest using the [VOTE] subject only for the approval. Seems
like lazy consensus is sufficient to begin the process. If there is
a need to get lots of input to begin, you might tag the discussion
thread with [DISCUSS], but that's just to call attention to the
mail...

Another note (something I overlooked, getting too excited about
the first release from Apache and all that). We'll still have to
do all the due diligence once the release artifacts are posted,
ensuring that (a) they work and (b) there are no legal issues,
like missing license headers and all that.
So we will have another (consequential) vote once a release admin
(I guess that's me at the moment) posts the release files.
