Now that our first release is out, I've documented the whole process from start to finish on the wiki in a Release Workflow page:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DAFFODIL/Release+Workflow Also, the Branch and Tag Workflow page is essentially subsumed by this page, and it wasn't all that accurate with how we actually do things, so I've deleted that page as well. This Release Workflow page probably won't get a thorough testing for accuracy until we do our next release, but be aware that it exists. - Steve
