Hi Jing, Thank you for caring about the releasing process. It has to be said that the entire process went smoothly. We have very comprehensive documentation[1] to guide my work, thanks to the contribution of previous release managers and the community.
Regarding the obstacles, I actually only have one minor problem: We used an older twine(1.12.0) to deploy python artifacts to PyPI, and its compatible dependencies (such as urllib3) are also older. When I tried twine upload, the process couldn't work as expected as the version of urllib3 installed in my machine was relatively higher. In order to solve this, I had to proactively downgrade the version of some dependencies. I added a notice in the cwiki page[1] to prevent future release managers from encountering the same problem. It seems that this is a known issue(see comments in [2]), which has been resolved in the higher version of twine, I wonder if we can upgrade the version of twine? Does anyone remember the reason why we fixed a very old version(1.12.0)?
