I'm poking around with trying out your steps this morning. Will report
if I get stuck, too.

I have to confess: I can't release using maven to automate the ASF artifact
release process; I'm getting 401/unauthed, even though the infrastructure
team can't see any problems
Can someone else try?
1. release branch is branches/branch-0.6 ; tag tag-prerelease-0.61 being
what I want to release.
2. I've documented what I think we are meant to do in:
site/trunk/content/developing/releasing.md
under: Work-in-Progress Automated releases via maven
The release process includes updating the poms and pushing up versions onto
the release branch, branches/branch-0.6; to stop the release you not only
need to do a mvn release:clean, you need to reset the head of the branch to
the tag-prerelease-0.61 commit and force push the change back up.
