I think you should be a committer to run release process, and PMC needs to approve it(or ask for another round). There are several things 1. Release is official, it should be signed(gpg) by Apache account. 2. Release manager should know what to check and what is the release policy. 3. Release manager should get familiar with when a release should be cut.
If we already trust a contributor to release, I would say, he/she is qualified to be a committer. Release is a more serious thing than general contributing.
