https://wiki.apache.org/logging/Log4j2ReleaseGuide 
<https://wiki.apache.org/logging/Log4j2ReleaseGuide> is fairly close to being 
up to date. I try to update it whenever I change the process. Some of the steps 
are one time only - like getting the signing key or setting up Maven. 

I should add one more step before running the release build. I always build the 
web site first and inspect it for problems before I start the release. 

Basically, by the time I start running the release plugin I am pretty confident 
I am going to vote +1 as all the tests have passed for me, I know Maven is 
going to sign almost everything, and I have performed all the RAT checks. 
Usually, getting to that point takes me several hours as I almost always find 
new modules that are missing the license or run into a test that fails and I 
have to create a new logo. Believe it or not, the second longest part of the 
process is uploading the web site with each release. The web site is pretty big.
