Big +1! Let's update it. I think Paul volunteered to be the next RM, so Paul please review whatever Sean adds in there about publishing to the Cheeseshop. It should be a post step of the actual release VOTE (and its passing), probably done at the same time we copy the release tarballs to the mirrors. I guess one step we should do also is making sure we do the dist URL pointing back at the Apache mirror infra like you said, there will probably be some trickery required there.
BTW, I think Avro [1] does both Java and Python (PyPI releases).
