Generate the Maven artifacts

See https://svngithub.com/apache.org/repostomcat/asfblob/tomcat/tc77.0.x/trunk/res/maven/README.txt steps steps 1 to 3 (not step 4!)

...

No Format
svn mv https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.XX https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.XX

No Format
svn checkout --depth immediates https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/tomcat/tomcat-7/
and update the KEYS file there to be the same as the one used for release. (The download page has links pointing to this file).
Release the Maven artifacts (https://svngithub.com/apache.org/repostomcat/asfblob/tomcat/tc77.0.x/trunk/res/maven/README.txt step 4)
Wait for the mirrors to sync (upto 24 hours depending on what percentage of the mirrors you want to sync)
Update the website (e.g. http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1500109)
Note: the index and oldnews pages are sorted by date. Thus the new announcement pops up to the top of the page.
Update the docs (see http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/site/trunk/README.txt)
Announce the release (e.g. http://markmail.org/message/xyantb3ozzmucdjt) to users@t.a.o, cc dev@t.a.o, announce@t.a.o, announce@a.o
Update the release date in the changelog to the date the files were copied to the the release area in yyyy-mm-dd format.
E.g. "released 2013-05-03" (for stable versions), "beta, 2007-02-08" (for betas).
Add the version number in Bugzilla
Drop the artifacts for the previous release from https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/tomcat/tomcat-7/
Add release data (version and date) to reporter.apache.org - https://reporter.apache.org/addrelease.html?tomcat
