Explain the release step on the contribute page The 04 RELEASE card only stated the three-PMC-votes rule without saying what a release involves or what it has to do with a contributor.

This website uses the typical ASF layout. The actual website is found on the branch asf-site, any changes need to be pushed there.
You can run
docker compose up build
which will create a folder _site. This is the content, which needs to be copied after wards to the asf-site branch. If you wish to see a preview for your branch, you can use asf-staging to see a copy hosted under: https://stormcrawler.staged.apache.org/
The website is automatically build on a push to main and any changes are pushed to the asf-site branch. A preview is available via https://stormcrawler.staged.apache.org/ if you go to the GitHub Actions tab and trigger a manual staging deploy action.
