Hi Jochen!
The discussion was about whether a local release build (GIT runs locally and a 'commit' doesn't push to the canonical ASF repo) should immediately get pushed to the ASF repo or just to a PMC owned 'other' GIT repo (e.g. on github). In various projects we prefer pushing to github because it doesn't pollute the ASF repo in case the VOTE needs to get cancelled. Remember that you cannot effectively delete a commit/branch/tag from our repos as they almost immediately get pulled downstream. And as the sha1 is cryptographically strong it is guaranteed that when the VOTE succeeds we get the exact content which was voted upon pushed to the ASF repo anyway. But otoh if a project decides to use -RC1..17 it's also fine. BUT: they pollute their branches and tags and they actually would need to do a 2nd VOTE afterwards on the .Final release. So it is much more work and thus not recommended. But otoh it's not a blocker neither.
