Sorry for a delay but I finally had some time to work on this. So, what is the process for uploading a release to dist.apache.org <http://dist.apache.org/>? According to release policy only PMC members can upload a release.
Also, I have committed my work related to packaging and release process for slingpackager to this branch for now https://github.com/apache/sling-slingpackager/tree/travisBuild if anyone has time and is interested in review and feedback that’s always welcome Thank You. Happy New Year!
