[OK] Download all staged artifacts under the url specified in the release vote email.
[OK] Verify the signature is correct.
[OK] Check if the signature references an Apache email address.
[OK] Verify the SHA512 hashes.
[OK] Unzip the archive.
[OK] Verify the existence of LICENSE, NOTICE, README files in the extracted source bundle.
[OK] Verify the content of LICENSE, NOTICE, README files in the extracted source bundle.
[OK] Run RAT externally to ensure there are no surprises.
[OK] Search for SNAPSHOT references
[OK] Search for Copyright references, and if they are in headers, make sure these files containing them are mentioned in the LICENSE file.

I did notice in apache-answer-1.7.1-src/docs/release/licenses there is a huge list of License files. What is this for? Usually we list the licenses of things included in our software. As the central LICENSE file doesn’t contain us embedding any outside components in our source repo, we should not require any. Is this for the binary releases?
