Yes, true. Here's a message from Doug Cutting to legal-discuss@apache on the subject: http://s.apache.org/9r7>. In my view, it's appropriate for someone reviewing a release to comment on whether the SCM tree has proper LICENSE and NOTICE files. However, I don't think that should be a checklist item because the checklist should be specific to the release artifacts. Now, there's another checklist item to which the same critique applies: [ ] I follow this project's commits list. I would rather delete this item and be consistent than expand the checklist with more such items. > further the N&L files may be different for the binary archive (if provided) We should allow podlings which choose to perform quality control on convenience binaries to customize their own checklists with additional items as they see fit. However, since 1) only the source archive is officially a release by the ASF, and 2) not all podlings make convenience binaries available, the default checklist should concern itself with the source archive alone. Nevertheless, convenience binaries have their own set of common problems (including incorrect N&L) which I anticipate we will want to address through documentation suggesting a specific block of additional checklist items.
