> * Setup GPG keys: 
>  * The preparation_before_release.sh interrupted. Git command failed when configuring git signing key.
>  * It required a PMC to add the key in dev@ list, the script doesn’t really help.
>  * Apache requires the key has at least 4096 bits, but script generates the 3072b key by default. There were a few options to select the size of the key, but there was no instruction indicates which option the release manager should choose. 
>  * *Solution*: I follow the Apache official [release signing guide|https://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html] to generate the RSA keys then asked a PMC member adding it to the dev and release key list.
>  * Reference: [GPG Cheat Sheet|http://irtfweb.ifa.hawaii.edu/~lockhart/gpg/]
