Description
The file rtems/Makefile.maint has the scripting in it for what needs to be updated and committed before tagging a release. It also includes the procedure for making a tarball with bootstrap'ed contents and cached files removed.
This needs to be updated/rewritten for git so we can make releases from 4.10 and 4.11.

I agree with capturing the steps in prose. Maintaining "rules" in a script and mapping it back to English is much harder than the other way around. Also, we need to identify release procedures in cross-dependent repositories such as tools and rsb.

We need to document the release procedure but I question capturing this in a makefile. It is not very user friendly. I suggest we first capture this in wiki pages. We have:
main
andbranch
procedures depending on the size and how different they are.Once captured, if you wish to maintain a makefile to do the work that is fine but my head hurt looking at all the sed in the current one and I suppose I would need a GNU make to run it.
