Few things I noticed so far while prepping the release based on [1]:
1. It mentions "Start a [DISCUSS] thread on the dev list proposing the
release" but I rarely see this happening in practice. How strictly is it
required if nobody else is working on the same codebase?
2. Not really clear what to do _before_ the release signing (if you missed
those, you have to redo the whole procedure...)
* npm: release version in package.json
* CHANGELOG
3. No link to PGP key management instructions (e.g. to upload fingerprint on
id.apache.org). I eventually found this to be helpful [2].
4. No link to Apache Rat which it says to run manually.

I reviewed and merged your PR. Instructions link you found is the correct
starting point. If you find something that isn’t clear please use the
opportunity to improve the docs 🙏🏼
