What is the general rule for setting the target date of the next milestone?

I don't think we really use target date. Maybe we can discuss a target release cadence? For instance, for ADBC I've been trying to hit ~6-8 weeks (it tends to slip though because I have limited time)

I'm favor of predictable release pace but flexible.
For the community, it's great to know in advance when a release is planned. However, we should clearly state that what is in the release could change (depending of resources, priority, etc).

I'm happy to volunteer for arrow-Java release every 6-8 weeks.

Maybe we can trade off to reduce the burden/improve bus factor, but that sounds good to me.
Do you want to start a small discussion on the ML? Or if we're in agreement here then let's just go with it.

Sure. I think it makes sense to discuss on the ml. Let me start a thread. Thanks !

Releasing arrow-java every 6-8 weeks sounds a little bit frequent to me. Perhaps we can start with a three-month release cadence same to the mono repo in the past.

Yes, let's start with quarter releases. We can always do intermediate release if needed.
What's Changed
Add instructions for undocumented post-release tasks.
Closes #629.
