 In doc/HACKING/ReleasingTor.md we have
 {{{
 1. Get at least three of weasel/arma/Sebastian/Sina to put the new
    version number in their approved versions list.
 }}}

 But there's no follow-up step later in the checklist, to make sure that it
 really happened.

 For Tor 0.3.0.10, it didn't happen -- moria1 recommended the new version,
 but nobody else did. So in retrospect, it would have been wise to do some
 sort of follow-up to check that the new version actually got recommended,
 before releasing.
