Hi, thanks for the review; I've addressed most of the issues you found. I will finish that on Monday and spin RC2.
For my education: is there a good checklist for what needs to be in a release ? It seems that the requirements are fairly well distributed across the Apache website.

I find this extremely confusing - why remove the copyright attribution ? Isn't it clearer if each file states who holds copyright in it ? In any event, I assume I can move the copyright notices for the files that were part of the initial grant, and that come from contributors; there's also a handful of files that we use under the MIT license - can I leave the copyright attribution in them ? Also, it seems to me that the boilerplate text of the NOTICE file is incorrect since it states 'Copyright YYYY The Apache Software Foundation' but the contributor license agreement does not actually assign copyright to the ASF (which would be impossible in some jurisdictions anyway) - what exactly does the NOTICE file accomplish ? The FAQ [1] does not really have an answer for this, as it only refers to a previously used header that incorrectly claimed ASF Copyright.
