• For major releases, consider writing a blog in https://blogs.apache.org/kafka/. If you don't have a blog account, just log into blogs.apache.org once with your Apache credential and notify the Kafka PMC chair, who can then invite you to the blog space. Follow the instructions for creating a preview.  Send the a link to the preview blog post to dev mailing for comments before publishing. (See INFRA-20646 for an issue about previews of blog entry drafts.)

• It's nice to thank as many people as we can identify. The best I could come up with is this:

  
  

  No Format

  # get a list of all committers, contributors, and reviewers git log 2.7..2.8 | grep 'Author\|Reviewer\|Co-authored-by:' | tr ',' '\n' | sed 's/^.*:\s*//' | sed 's/^\s*//' | sed 's/\s*<.*$//' | sort | uniq > /tmp/contributors # and then manually clean up the list, removing different versions of people's names and stripping out any fragments of commit messages that made it in vim /tmp/contributors # then copy the list (don't forget to drop the trailing comma) cat /tmp/contributors | tr '\n' ',' | sed 's/,/, /g' | xclip -selection clipboard

  
  

• Consider incorporating any suggestions from the dev thread until release is announced
