Here's the list of steps to do a release.

Technical

Pre-release checklist:

Update AUTHORS file
1. check git commits
2. ask on mailing list
3. other ways?
Update documentation
1. update README
2. update docs/source/siteadmin/relnotes.rst
3. update install guide
4. other things?

Release checklist:

Verify with others on IRC that we're good to go.
Do a git fetch and make sure you have the latest code.
Do a ./devtools/update_translations.sh and make sure you have the latest translations.
Do a ./devtools/maketarball.sh -dr HEAD to make sure building the docs and tarball works. If any errors, proceed no further!
Do a git clean -fdx to wipe all non-repository files out (THIS DELETES EVERYTHING), go through hacking howto to reinstall.
Run the unit tests: ./runtests.sh If any tests fail, proceed no further!
Update version numbers in mediaboglin/_version.py
Tag: git tag -a vX.Y.Z (consider --sign to create a signed tag).
Push the tag to origin: git push origin vX.Y.Z
Update stable branch to current release and push to origin
Build the tarfile. ./devtools/maketarball.sh -r vX.Y.Z (Note, you may have to do this in a virtualenv... source bin/activate before running)
Push the tarball to the web-site: add tarball to site/static/download/ directory in mediagoblin-website repository and then push the site live
Update on PYPI - ./bin/python setup.py sdist bdist_egg upload
