Thanks everyone! Following the schedule in #11736 the vote thread is closing today with the results in #12133.

This release and past releases have included the rc0 in the top-level folder inside the source release tar. We've pushed a new RC with all the contents the same except the top level folder, which is named the same thing without the rc0. Since the contents are the same (you can verify by comparing the rc1 with rc0 by running find . -type f -print0 | sort -z | xargs -0 sha512sum | sha512sum inside the release folder), we are skipping the vote thread for this specific case. If anyone has any comments please let us know and we can push a patch release if necessary.

can verify, and +1 on the rc1 as well

TQ
