Dave,
thanks for the clarification. Assuming that we agree that the information from the Release Notes is basically what the PMC would like to "take a look at" before approving the release, I think that it would be mandatory to have at least a link to the release
notes in the review information.
Taking a look at the release notes working copy I wonder whether you plan to also add some more "prose" describing the changes made and the impact they have. The current release notes seem to mainly contain the list of issues addressed since the last release
(which is valuable information).
In any case, assuming that the release notes contain the relevant information to be reviewed by the PMC, I guess it makes sense to start the "reviewing" only, once the release notes have been finalized. Does that make sense?

Hello,
@Kai H: You are correct, we generally try to keep most of the details in the release notes. We believe this is where most users of Kura will get release information. I usually have a link in the release info, but we haven’t quite finalized the
release notes. The working copy is here [1]. I can add a link to the working copy of the release notes if that helps.
@Kai K, Jens: If I add references to the two security bugs, is that sufficient? I would ask for some leniency here as the Eclipse Foundation has only recently started the new security policy. I believe this new policy was started, in part, because
the previous way of handling security issues [2] was not sufficient.
Thanks,
--Dave
Hmm, given that this is a new major release I would expect that there is a little more to tell users than the information provided in [1]. Or am I mistaken in assuming that this page should basically contain the information that users would be given in something
like the "Release Notes"?

@Kai: I see this still as missing.
