While we are waiting to find out who is interested in the heavy lifting of creating a release candidate, who here is willing to review such candidates and cast a +/-1 vote for release of the package? The review period should rarely be shorter than 72 hours but I've seen 10 day review periods for projects with especially small communities. As an aside the ASF only 'releases' the source code. Some projects create convenience binaries but they are not the subject of the vote. Some projects refuse to create binaries as a matter of policy (Subversion, for example.)
