Thanks, Mark. Here's a starting point for our release process: http://openjpa.apache.org/release-management.html
The steps you are interested in are under the Apache Nexus Release process: http://openjpa.apache.org/apache-nexus-release-process-(1.2.x-2.1.x).html Good luck! There are several people that have done Apache OpenJPA releases recently, so hopefully you'll get the assistance you need. But, I do know at least one of them is busy with JavaOne this week...
