Depending on who is the RM the process doesn't feel fragile or
cumbersome to the RM at all ;-)

One thing to note here is there is no single opinioned "we". If "we" as
in "the Commons Developers" decided there is only one way to do releases
and this is "the Maven way" or "the new release plugin" or "use shell
script foo", we'd be bound to make some of the current RMs unhappy.
