  | * Notifying product support about the new release (where relevant)
  | * Agreement from project lead

There is this page:
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=MavenReleaseProcess
Which you can get to from the main maven page under the heading "Releasing software with maven".  Maybe this link should be more prominent?

But it is missing some of the things that you described above.  I will add the above info this week.
