  Pre-releases and RC's can be created and uploaded with just "lazy consensus" -- ie.  it's all go unless someone speaks up to object.  However, you need to make it clear they are not equivalent to a "full"/"official" release -- they cannot be uploaded to the "real" website download directories (ie www.apache.org/dist), or announced as a full release via a mail to the announce list.  Make it clear that this is an unofficial "test build" by placing it in your public_html dir -- e.g. http://people.apache.org/~jm/devel/ -- for download.
