I like your changes and have committed most of the patch. The one thing I left out was substantive: I did not commit the additional requirement that manifest template changes be discussed on general@incubator. Instead, I clarified that the template may be "augmented" rather than "customized": <http://s.apache.org/DWA>. I also went another round on the Manifest template and the Release Procedure section of the guide (not yet committed): https://paste.apache.org/a1ya * Add `Usage: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/release.html` link. * Change `Release:` to `Release Candidate:`. * Remove `Creation date:` because that will be tracked in SVN. * Add `Approved by Mentor:` and remove `Status: (vote in progress/canceled/released)`. Whether a vote is in progress is determined by whether the manifest has been archived. Whether it was released or not is less important than whether a Mentor has approved the manifest, making PPMC votes binding (for releases after the first). * Reverse the stacking order of `Contents` and `Reviewers and release votes` just for the sake of making the usage examples easier to write. * Move most instructions from the manifest template to the guide. * Add back the sample usage from your original wiki proposal, now inlined into the `Release Procedure` section of the guide. Thoughts?
