I can take on the final step once it gets to that point.

Subject:  Licenses

Hi all again,
Sorry for the spam. I have uploaded a diff located at:
https://reviews.apache.org/r/7077/ containing all the license stuff
that needs to be included with the release. This includes some code
headers that were missed.

Something to note is that files such as HTML and CSS have to have the
header as well, not just java code.

We have some licensing issues that are preventing us from going ahead
with the release:
-junit and emma both use the common public license, which isn't
compatible with the apache one
-libidn faces the same issues only it uses the GNU GPL v3 license.

As I see it we have two options:
1. Code around the libraries or find alternatives, which isn't really ideal
2. Contact the package authors and see if they'll release the software
with compatible licenses.

Another problem i've seen is all the signing, uploading, announcing
and vote managing need to be done by the same person, with commit
privileges. This ensures the PGP signature is the same the whole way
through so Apache can be sure it's a legit release. So after i've
wrangled with all the licensing stuff someone needs to carry it
forward to the final step.
