I just did a quick check and it seems that the issue came from
https://github.com/apache/iceberg-go/blob/38794865aea6c4d09cec6f9d9a96ca0991469af0/dev/release/release_rc.sh#L68
The `id` is set to "apache-iceberg-go-${version}-rc${rc}" so calling mkdir
produces rc suffix as well:
https://github.com/apache/iceberg-go/blob/38794865aea6c4d09cec6f9d9a96ca0991469af0/dev/release/release_rc.sh#L92
Perhaps these lines can be removed if the above has been fixed:
https://github.com/apache/iceberg-go/blob/38794865aea6c4d09cec6f9d9a96ca0991469af0/dev/release/release_rc.sh#L116-L118
