I could potentially be interested in helping out with this, but I do 
have a question about it, mainly, why hasn't most of this been automated 
at this point?

I was reading through the release process notes and am not seeing any 
obvious blocks on most of it that could not be accomplished via a 
suitable CI/CD pipeline.

Is it just a matter of someone having time available to do it?

The one thing which does make me ponder is would we need to assign a GPG 
key to the build process?

I'd be happy to give some of my time later this year to further 
investigate this.
