Hmm... Personally, I think "for release" is just a list of activities that must be completed before the next release, but "release process" or "release cycle" is throughout Emacs development. Since English is not my native language, my feeling could be wrong. > If you are going to rename it, you don't have to stick with an > old-school SHOUTY name, you can use lower-case. OK.

Well, I mean _build and upload_ the binary. Maybe Someone=E2=84=A2 familia= r with Windows should write a script to build a Windows binary for release automatically.
