Also: the ./gen-release-vote.py script assumes a certain naming convention for cloning the https://github.com/apache/openwhisk-release repo:
* remote "upstream": for the actual repo * remote "origin" (or anything): for ones local fork In my case I had no fork and just "origin" for the actual repo, resulting in this error: subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['git', 'show-ref', '--hash', '--abbrev', '--', 'refs/remotes/upstream/master']' returned non-zero exit status 1 I quickly fixed it by changing the script at [1] to use "origin". Not sure what the best solution is, I guess everyone has a different approach with forks vs. not. But maybe make it configurable and print a hint if the git show-ref returns an error?

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.
