If we could have a single vote, that'd be great, but I didn't think that
was possible. Would we be voting on the union of all the source codes
across all four branches? Is it acceptable to be voting on multiple
hash/tags (since they're in different branches)? What about binary release?
We'd have multiple tar files, one per branch.

There's a fair amount of automation and process already developed for our
release procedure. This is the way we've been doing things for the last 10+
releases (for good or for bad). Unless the new process would be more or
less the same as the old, I think we need to get 4.8.0 out first (following
all ASF policies, of course), before changing our documentation,
automation, etc.
