Hi guys,

I created a pull request to add a complete release guide:

https://github.com/apache/incubator-carbondata/pull/617

I also updated the maturity self-assessment doc:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/12hifkDCfbyramBba1uRHYjwaKEcxAyWMxS9iwJ1_etY/edit?usp=sharing

I would like just a quick update about CARBONDATA-722 to address the
last TODO:

"TODO. Add release guide, mailing lists, source repositories, release
notes and issue tracker links."

Once the release guide is merged and CARBONDATA-722 is addressed, I
would like to start the formal discussion about CarbonData graduation.

Thanks !
Regards
JB
