Regarding testing. I recommend that the release manager creates a
recipe ("HOWTO") for the steps to create a release. One of those steps
is a manual smoke test (e.g. am I able to start the server and do x,
y, and z simple operations).Other people voting on the release can do their own smoke tests. But do bear in mind that if there are bugs, this does not prevent a release. Clearly you don't want show-stopper bugs like code that doesn't compile.
