I'll have a look at CRUNCH-16 if someone tells me which Hadoop version
we're going to use. There's also the issue of fixing Scrunch's
namespace.

Apart from these issues we need:

  * Work through Apache and Incubator release guidelines
  * Write a release guide for Crunch
  * Set up a distribution directory with a KEYS file
  * Decide on a branching model and document it
  * Configure the POM to
    * create a source distribution
    * make release via maven-release-plugin possible
    * make deployment to Nexus possible
  * Nominate a release manager

Being able to publish the website is probably also a good idea (see
INFRA-5092).

I think writing an Apache-compliant release guide will be the most
time consuming task.

Regards,
  Matthias
