Hi Alexandre,
in order to perform a release one has to perform it on 3 projects at the
same time, basically holding
administrative project access on github, jira and sourceforge.
For GT and GS the builds are automated on Jenkins, one just needs to start
them with the right parameters,
GeoWebCache needs a semi-automated build with a set of release tools that
are becoming hard to come by:
I personally created a docker image around the required ruby version to run
releases, which are no longer
possible (or at least obvious) on my Linux mint.
Finally, one has to go and manually perform the releases on Jira, collect
the release notes, and build release
announcements either by hand (GeoTools) or with some command line
automation (GeoServer).

When all goes well, the process takes (for me) around 4 hours, if there are
hiccups one has to either perform
fixes autonomously or reach out and ask for help. In this case the release
work might spread over several
days (e.g.. the 2.23.5 release is now held by some docker image issues,
I've started monday and following
the progress of the fixes in docker land before completing the release),

Hopefully that gives you an idea of the effort involved.

Cheers
Andrea
