Agreed, I have added a TODO at
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ReleaseChecklist - the manifest
should point to a page at http://incubator.apache.org that explains
such things in a bit more detail. Good opportunity to clarify that ;-)

Which is good IMO, once we have a clear explanation.

Agreed, I have removed them. Totally agree to keep the checklist as
small as possible.

I made some other minor changes as well, see wiki history if needed.

Pure oversight on my part, sorry...but what would we do if no reviewer
follows the commit lists? I don't think that's a reason to kill a
release.
