Here is what I have been thinking about this for a while:

* As now, an announce to -packagers about the new release.

* Upload the new tarballs to a private area (instead of public FTP site)
so that only packagers and other related people can download them to
build the packages, etc.

* Win32 binaries, source tarballs and RPMs will be uploaded to another
directory (not to FTP site in developer.postgresql.org) before the
release.

* After we are done with all of them, (that takes 2 days only), we'll
move this directory to FTP site and wait for propagation.

Does it look good?
