It'd be nice to have these in the parent POM, but there is also a risk that the source code which is actually used to create the release candidate is never pushed to the repository. There's actually quite a few manual steps outside the maven-release-plugin one must do in ASF to get things staged, uploaded, and ready for a vote. To solve this for Accumulo, I wrote a pretty comprehensive build script that automates some of the manual steps we'd normally do with git during and after the maven commands to stage the release candidate in Nexus: https://s.apache.org/accumulo-build-script Unfortunately, we've not done a good job of ensuring the documentation is up-to-date to document this process manually. It's on my TODO list, though, and I think it'd be great for incubating projects to ensure the steps (whatever they are for their particular project) to create release candidates is documented prior to graduation.
