"Release" has a very specific definition at the ASF. [1]

Tags can change. For example, if I tag 8.0.x/trunk to do a release and
discover a problem while building the release then I'll drop the tag,
fix the problem and re-tag. The informal rule we follow for when that is
OK is that as long as nothing built from the tag has made made available
to anyone (including the dev@ list) then it is OK.

Once something has been made available (e.g. for voting), the tag should
not change (although in some projects that have a different release
process it might get renamed).

That is not a release.

They are but at this point they have not been formally released.

Correct.

The 'official' release date is that date that the result of the release
vote is posted to the dev list (using the UTC time zone) assuming, of
course, that the release vote passed.

The biggest issue with using the tags is that not all of them were released.

For the record, I'm fairly sure some of the dates in the change log
might are a day or two out.
