Description

The Announce ([e-mail]) list has rejected our release announcements previously due to the following non-compliance issues:
 
See https://infra.apache.org/release-download-pages.html#download-page for more info on what's required.
 

Hi! This is the ezmlm program. I'm managing the
[e-mail] mailing list.

I'm sorry, your message (enclosed) was not accepted by the moderator.

The announce message currently links to

http://www.apache.org/dist/mahout/0.14.0

However, downloads must use the ASF mirrors for all but the KEYS, sigs and
hashes.

The download page
https://mahout.apache.org/general/downloads.html
has the same problem.

It also links to the git repo, which includes code that has not been
formally released.
Download pages must only link to released code.
[Pointers to source code repos should be on developer-oriented pages only]

Please have a look the download pages for Tomcat or Httpd for examples of
how to do it.
