[PR] docs: improve release process documentation [datafusion-comet]
andygrove opened a new pull request, #3508:
URL: https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/3508
## Summary
- Add a quick-reference checklist at the top of the document
- Add a release preparation section covering expression support review
- Make version numbers consistent throughout (using 0.13.0 as the example release)
- Add prerequisites for `create-tarball.sh` (GPG key, SVN credentials, Python `requests` package)
- Add link to verification guide and `verify-release-candidate.sh` script
- Add guidance for when a vote fails (increment RC number, repeat from tagging)
- Add announcement email content guidance
- Clean up `/comet:$` prompt artifacts in `publish-to-maven.sh` examples
- Consolidate "Post Release Admin" and "Post Release Activities" into a single "Post Release" section
- Remove outdated "Publishing Crates" section
- Remove "Update released version number in documentation" section (now dynamic)
- Clarify that some tasks require PMC membership while preparation tasks are open to any contributor
## Test plan
- [ ] Verify the document renders correctly in the docs build
- [ ] Review all version number references for consistency

+## Checklist
Review Comment:
we should probably mention that commands to execute checklist items are below.
btw to avoid chasing versions WDYT if we have template for this doc, where we would define `current_version` and `next_version` and script that generates actual md file replacing `current_version` and `next_version ` with actual values 0.13, 0.14?

Review Comment:
oops, missed this comment ... 0.13.0 is just used as an example - no need to update this each time. Previously there was a mix of versions, so it was confusing.
We do have something like `$COMET_VERSION` substitution already in docs.

@comphead I added some notes on checking that documentation is up to date before starting the release process, based on your suggestion.
