The new MP release process

[Emily Jiang]

Due to the Sonatype staging repo removal, we had to update our release process. Roberto did some experiment last year to remove the Sontype staging repo here. Further to the call last night, Roberto has kindly agreed to update the MP release process here with the new update he experimented recently (Thanks Roberto!). 

The good news is that Eclipse Foundation has developed a new plugin for the Eclipse Foundation owned staging repo recently. Jakarta EE leveraged this plugin last week(see here). 

Let's revisit this topic in the next MP Technical call to see what actions we should take.
