To do so, an outline would be: 1) We commit the patch to the AOO410 branch. This is the branch used for all the 4.1.x series. 4.2.0 isn't out yet, so 4.1.x is still our reference version.
This was done by Kay today (thanks!).
2) We do not make any other changes to the AOO410 branch. This is really meant to be a minimal update. Even the version number in the source package will remain 4.1.2.
Done by Kay today (and yes, I agree that we will publish hashes of the older libraries to make it possible to distinguish them - new libraries come with all hashes anyway).
3) We tag the release as AOO4121 and build the corresponding source package, which will have 4.1.2.1 in its name (I mean the filename, nowhere else).
I see that Kay also created https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/tags/AOO4121/ which looks good.
I've just built and tested OpenOffice from this code and I confirm it can be released.
So I can supply a full source package or I can give my +1 to a "patch" package that others prepare. Since this vote is largely anticipated and several of us built OpenOffice with the new file already, I think we can have a 72-hour (not more) vote to comply with the standard Apache process. Is someone is preparing the "minimal" package, please just say so, so we can have our vote and be done with the process.
4) We don't prepare full end-user release binaries but we do supply repaired libraries for power users - remember the circumstances above. The bugfix modifies one library file, and we have binaries ready for several platforms already.
We have binaries for all platform at the moment, but these are not part of a formal vote so they can be approved separately.
5) We vote on the source and possibly binaries. We advertise the availability of the new packages on our website, but we don't send out update notifications and we don't put the files on SourceForge.
This would be next. In preparation, I've rearranged our dev area at https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/openoffice/
