Currently we publish releases by uploading them to a specified directory on scp://people.apache.org/.
Infra would like to move from this model to a model where releases are stored in a Subversion repository[1]. I suggest that we join a few other PMC's who had already converted. The impact on us is that we'll be uploading releases by committing to [1]/subversion, rather than by scp'ing them. It will also shorten the wait period on mirroring new releases from 25 hours to 24 hours. Barring objections I'll follow up with infra in a few days to make this happen.
