Automate the release?

Pekko has this job:
https://github.com/apache/pekko/blob/main/.github/workflows/stage-release-candidate.yml

ASF Infra team and possibly Security team will have to approve issuing the GitHub secrets for Fory. You will notice some Pekko specific secrets in the job above.

It has really simplified the Pekko release process and we avoid issues where unstaged files can sneak into release artifacts.

Start by reading Pekko's .github/workflows/stage-release-candidate.yml and compare its release stages, Pekko-specific secrets, and approval requirements with Fory's current release process. Confirm the ASF Infra and possibly Security prerequisites before defining the workflow. Done means Fory can automate release-candidate staging while preventing unstaged files from entering release artifacts.
