I basically do:

- quick smoke test to make sure libvirt and virsh are working:
-- stop system libvirtd
-- sudo ./daemon/libvirt
-- sudo ./tools/virsh list --all
- make check && make rpm && make distcheck
- cd po/ && make update-po
- bump configure.ac
- bump rpm spec
- git tag v$VER -m "libvirt release $VER"
- commit
- git push && git push --tags
- git clean -xdf && ./autogen.sh --system && make dist
- upload tarball
- update http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Maintenance_Releases
- send out announce mail

DV set me up when I first started doing the releases, maybe Eric or Danpb have
required permissions as well.
