Hi, I'm not part of your PMC so just take this as some friendly advice. I took a look at your release and noticed that you NOTICE file year needs updating and it contains a few things that don't need to be mentioned. For MIT and BSD licensed files nothing need to go in NOTICE as that information goes in LICENSE. [1] There's also no need for the copyright line at the top of your LICENSE file.
