Sounds like it's too late, but my 2 cents... I'd agree that a normal maven release procedure would be preferred. However, I don't see why it should be *required*. Requiring this would seem a bit counter to the notion that we vote on the source archive -- i.e. I don't like this source archive, because it doesn't produce a source archive. Many Apache projects build a source archive and signature/checksums by hand. --kevan
