(Whiteboard: [tracking]) 

At the moment we have a lot of repetitive task we run by hand: virus scan, push to mirrors, backupsnip, pushsnip, etc.

We should script these steps and partition release process into 3 phases:

1. everything up to mirror push (already automated, except signing)
2. push to mirrors (virus scan, rsync, backup snippets, send some announces to r-d ML)
3. release (push snippets, update symlinks for stable releases)

Every phase should run unattended from the beginning to the end.
I agree 101% and I am hoping I will be allowed to take a lot of this work in the next two quarters since we can make this happen and improve the quality of our releases.

I'd prefer to have this bug as a subset, because I'm going to work on these specific pieces, but bug 478420 is too generic.
