This page helps a lot http://aries.apache.org/development/releasingaries.html!
The first thing to do is to get your GPG signing key generated and added to the Aries release keys. While that’s happening you can run the rat checks and fix up any legal issues (basically just missing licence headers). When both of those things are done you can prepare and stage the release. Then do the vote, then promote the release. Not too challenging really :) Tim On 25 Apr 2018, at 11:05, Carlos Sierra Andrés <carlos.sie...@liferay.com<mailto:carlos.sie...@liferay.com>> wrote: Hi... I will take on the release of Aries JAX-RS Whiteboard. I can use all the help I can get since I haven't done this before. Cheers. Carlos.

I know of at least four Aries components that are due to be reference implementations for these specifications - Aries JPA, Aries Tx Control, Aries RSA and Aries JAX-RS whiteboard. There are only about six weeks now until released versions of these Reference Implementations need to be available, thankfully they’re all passing the relevant CT suites already. There are dependency chains between some of the reference implementations so I’m proposing to start the release processes now rather than having to do things in a mad panic next month. I’m happy to drive the Aries JPA and Aries Tx Control releases. I imagine that Christian Schneider and Carlos Sierra will want to take on the releases for Aries RSA. If anyone knows of any showstopper problems then now would be a good time to speak up!
