Well, I don't know if it's everything, but I've tried to write scripts
to automate the process.

There's:
...
$ ls -1 contrib/release/*.sh
contrib/release/do-release.sh
contrib/release/gen-copyright-years.sh
contrib/release/upload-release.sh
...

So:
- gen-copyright-years updates COPYRIGHT_YEARS.
- do-release does a git tag and updates VERSION
- upload-release.sh uploads the release to the sourceware site

I guess other things to do are:
- sent out release announcement, and
- update webpage.

Thanks,
