>             Project: Legal Discuss
>          Issue Type: Question
>          Components: Policy Question
>            Reporter: Justin Mclean
>            Priority: Major

> The IPMC is trying to provide advice to podlings on how to handle releases listed on GitHub release page .e.g [https://github.com/apache/incubator-doris/releases]
> For releases that occurred before incubation it seems best to label them as non Apache release so that's OK.
> However GitHub will turn any git tag into a release that means that release candidates and the like will show up on this release page (see example above) be marked as a release and be available to download as a .tar.gz or .zip to the general public. This doesn't seem in line with ASF release and distribution policies. [1][2]
> What do we do about this?
>  a) Ignore that they show up here.
>  b) Mark all release / tags as "pre-releases" (another GitHub release feature)
>  c) Delete RC tags after they have been voted on?
>  d) Disable release pages in GitHub
>  e) Something else?
> This issue has been raised to GitHub some time back and there's little action on it. [3]
> Note that TLP also have the same issue.
