The one thing I see missing from the proposed text is dependencies and
installers.
Particularly this section:
### Compiled packages ### {#compiled-packages}
The Apache Software Foundation produces open source software. All releases
are in the form of the source materials needed to make changes to the
software being released.
As a convenience to users that might not have the appropriate tools to build a
compiled version of the source, binary/bytecode packages MAY be distributed
alongside official Apache releases. In all such cases, the
binary/bytecode package MUST have the same version number as the source
release and MUST only add binary/bytecode files that are the result of
compiling that version of the source code release.

How do binary dependencies fit in?
