Alex,
it is called "Open SOURCE" and not "Binary with link to Source" for a reason. 
Apache Software Foundation official only promise SOURCE releases. Any 
convenience binaries are not required/expected. It is not kosher to so called 
release (or make available) any binaries that are not built from an official 
source releases and place them in /dist. That goes against policy and 
infrastructure is likely going to have a strong opinion on the matter, i.e. 
pull the artifacts if found out.

Very simple workflow;
  1. Get your Source Release in order.
  2. Check it and vote
  3. Release it to /dist
  4. Worry about anything else...

Point 4 includes things like "Build binary convenience artifacts from the 
Source release".
