You would vote for the release in this thread. If you haven't seen it yet you should review http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html. While anyone can - and encouraged - to vote, only votes from PMC members are required for a formal release. That said, the release manager considers the feedback from all sources and determines whether an issue that is raised is a blocker or not.
