We should probably develop and evolve guidelines on what constitutes a
release blocker. For this first Apache release I think we're more focussed
on license-related topics and ASF-type requirements along with "P0"-type
blockers that would make significant portions of Superset unusable.

Bellow are some of the issues raised in a previous release attempt (from an
email that Justin McLean sent). I believe everything in there has been
tackled, but we should probably double check.

```
I checked:
- incubating is missing from name
- signatures and hashes good
- DISCLAIMER exists
- LICENSE is missing a few licenses (see below)
- NOTICE should not include LICENSE information e.g The line about CC 4.0.
This may need to be removed. Also this content may be Category X and this
can’t included in a source release. [11]
- Some 3rd party code have headers with "[LICENSE TBD]” [4][5][6][7][9]
which seems odd
- The ASF headers on a number of files are not correct e.g the file [13]
and other under that directory (search for COPYRIGHT 2016 and and COPYRIGHT
2017 and COPYRIGHT 2018) Or are these files not actually licensed to the
ASF?
- Source release may contained compiled code e.g [20] my understanding is
that a .mo file is compiled from the .po file. I not sure if it could be
classified as code however, but even if that is so it may be best to remove
them from the source release.

There is a few bits of missing licensing  information:
- How is the map date here licensed? [3] Is it from
http://www.diva-gis.org/Data? I can see there is a credit in the code that
has a link to https://bl.ocks.org/john-guerra. How is that code licensed?
- This file [7] is missing from LICENSE I assume it’s public domain? [8]
- This file [9] is licensed how? It seems to come from here [10] which says
to contact the author for a license.
- How is this image [14] licensed? (One reference I found said it could
only be used for personal use [21])
- LICENSE is missing license information for these fonts
[15][16][17][18][19] The license for Glyphicons Halflings is complex and in
this context (outside of bootstrap) a commercial license may be needed [22]
and so it can’t be included.

Some other improvements that could be made:
- The LICENSE fieldworker is a little odd with headings like BSD 2-Clause
licenses with noting under them, people (or tools) may incorrectly assume
that it does contain BSD 2-Clause licensed code.
- Make vote link link in future emails to lists.apache,org
- Sign release with an apache.org email address
- This [12] has copyright 2018 when it shovel be 2019

Thanks,
Justin
