Hi David,

+1 (binding)

- Verified signatures, artifacts,  Release notes
- Built from sources, ran tests
- Ran core/streams quick start for Scala 2.13 binary, ran few manual tests
- Verified docs

As discussed offline, we need to add upgrade instructions to 2.5 docs.

Thanks for driving the release.

Thanks,
Manikumar

+1 (non-binding)

Used the following environment in my validation of the release artifacts: Ubuntu 18.04, OpenJDK 11, Scala 2.13.1, Gradle 5.6.2

Verified GPG Signatures for all release artifacts
Verified md5 sha1 sha512 checksums for each artifact
Checked Scala and Java Docs
Ran Unit and Integration Tests successfully

One comment I have is that the following release artifacts initially in the release process were not reachable directly for validation like the other release artifacts.

* Documentation:
https://kafka.apache.org/25/documentation.html

* Protocol:
https://kafka.apache.org/25/protocol.html

If we can improve that in future releases that would be great.

Thanks for running the release, David.
