Hi, +1 on the stages of the process, with the mention that it should be done in less then 5 days. -0 on finalizing/announcing the release on Friday. IMHO it's worst day to release(lower visibility, low user traction, offline xwiki personnel during the days following the release).

Hi devs,
I don't think that Monday is a good day for releases, since voting over the weekend is not a good thing. Thus, I propose to move the general release day to the Thursday of the week. The current release process doesn't really follow the VOTE rules, since the way it's done is: send vote mail at 10AM, wait a few hours, start the release around 1PM. The rule for VOTE emails is to wait for three days.
Thus: - Send release VOTE on Monday - Prepare the release during the following three days (release plan, release notes) - Perform the maven release on Thursday, request tests for publishing the release (testing of the build) - Finalize the release on Friday (download, announcements, version update)
