Maven is going to publish all the artifacts that are built to the repository. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing as people can look at them all in one place during the vote. But after the vote is approved anything that a user wouldn’t ever want in a maven build should be deleted before the release button is pushed. This includes things like examples and the whole distribution. During the vote the release manager should be downloading everything from the repository so he can validate the build any way. It is a simple matter to take the distribution files and commit them where they belong.
All the things you are discussion here are what I have been dealing with for the last several years in Log4j 2. The steps in the release process aren’t what cause me pain. It is simply the time it takes to run a release build, verify it, fix any problems, and then run it again as needed - all of which I do before I send out a vote email. I don’t really see any way to make that shorter.
