Hi,
It might be a good idea to release a version after maven conversion.
It would give more time to test new jars and release procedure.
Please waive a hand if you think 1207 is not ready yet.
PS snapshots are deployed to Maven Central:
https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/postgresql/postgresql/
Release would include .tar.gz, and gpg signatures in addition to
current jar, sources, and javadoc artifacts.
