Cool.  I think you can delete 5b.  You already update the date, as  
you should, on the trunk or branch.  You want the actual release date  
to be part of the change log, so it has to be entered before making  
the tag.

I think we need to split "d" into:

  d) "Create a source release"

  e) Test the source release. At a minimum, rerun the package tests  
using the source release.
       (I really need to add a buildout option to help with this.)

   f) If the package has extensions, make and test a windows egg.  
(You may need to get someone with
      the needed Windows tools to help you with this. :)

   f) Upload the release(s) to PyPI
