  == Announce the release ==
-  1. Announce the release on general@lucene.apache.org , dev@lucene.apache.org , java-user@lucene.apache.org and announce@apache.org mailing lists. A draft should be sent to the development list first to clarify any possible issues in the announcement.  Make sure the announcement has a brief blurb at the top saying what Lucene is (it will save you several snarky comments in reply.) Mails to the announce list should be sent from an @apache.org email address and contain a signature.  Release announcements can be shared/edited on the wiki at http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/ReleaseNoteXY and http://wiki.apache.org/solr/ReleaseNoteXY, or in https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/misc/announcements.
+  1. Announce the release.
+     * Release announcements can be shared/edited on the wiki at http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/ReleaseNoteXY(Z) and http://wiki.apache.org/solr/ReleaseNoteXY(Z)
+     * Mails to the announce@apache.org list must be sent from an @apache.org email address and should contain a signature.
+     * Because you're likely not subscribed to the general, dev, and -user lists with your @apache.org address, sending the announcement email to those list with your @apache.org address will need to be moderated through, which will likely result in delayed transmission.  To avoid this, send the emails these lists using your subscribed email address, and then separately send the announcements to announce@apache.org.
+     * Announce the Lucene release on mailing lists general@lucene.apache.org , dev@lucene.apache.org , java-user@lucene.apache.org and announce@apache.org
+     * Announce the Solr release on mailing lists general@lucene.apache.org , dev@lucene.apache.org , solr-user@lucene.apache.org and announce@apache.org
