My bad, our bylaws actually state that release votes must have a minimum 3 days duration.

Yes, pretty much.

Mind you that the 72h voting duration is a recommendation by the ASF; it's not a strict rule. AFAICT we also haven't locked this down in our bylaws, apart from requiring 3 votes.

I think what you are referring to is here:

Based on this we probably cannot simply release the docker image. We could
decide to not release the maven artifacts though, but that seems to be a
minor difference and probably not worth it.

Thanks Chesnay, these are exactly the questions I would like to clarify
because I don't really understand the limitations/boundaries of the apache
release process.

Is there a strict requirement to have a source release accompany the
docker image? I will have to look this up.

For the operator the main logic (and the bugs) are part of the operator

to be
able to have lightweight patch releases that only contain the docker
image + updated Helm chart.

This would allow us to give users new docker image releases in a short
period of time with reduced testing and voting overhead (these patch
releases could have a shorter voting period also).
I'm not sure if this is allowed because it sounds like you're proposing
to release binaries without an associated source release
