Release process

Ensure all milestoned issues/PRs are closed, or reassign to new milestone
Verify good Testswarm results (alternatively, run all browsers locally)
- http://swarm.jquery.org/project/jquery
Run the jQuery Weekly job. Restart any failed Android jobs; if they can't succeed on TestSwarm+BrowserStack, verify no breakages manually.
- http://swarm.jquery.org/project/jqueryweekly
Run any release-only tests, such as those in the test/integration folder.
Ensure AUTHORS.txt file is up to date (jquery-release will abort otherwise)
- Get recent authors with grunt authors
- Look for bad names/emails and update .mailmap using real data from CLA sheet if needed
- Run grunt authors again, tack new emails onto AUTHORS.txt
Do release using instructions at jquery-release project README
- Be sure to clone a CLEAN copy, don't reuse
- Target something other than jquery/jquery (like your own fork) for a dry run
