Honestly, not really.  I'm not familiar with the release process.
But, if no one else will, then I guess I can take a whack.

Can we outline the process?

* clean cvs co
* change GNUCASH_MICRO_VERSION in configure.in
* ./autogen.sh && make distcheck
* post tgz to website
* post new ChangeLog entries to website
* cvs commit
* cvs tag

what else?
