IMHO, the tags on github are not formal releases. The fact that github
marks it as a release is just an unfortunate side effect of how github
works. So its not a violation of ASF release process. May be good to
start a discussion on legal-discuss. Let me know if you're subscribed, we
can talk more there.
Some projects have handled this by moving release votes to a different
(mirror/fork) of the project. I don't see anything wrong with taking that
approach.
