marking as draft, since 1.1.4 release used WSL and have also used WSL for 1.1.5/1.2.0rc0 dummy runs so i think I will create another PR that remove the docker based release environment and just document the WSL instead.

@datapythonista Marc this is my current process for the release.

The title of this PR is now incorrect as I do the release from ubuntu wsl and have set up also to do from ubuntu server (I use this for my dev machine and have a couple of poweredge servers that I bought for benchmarking the backport branch)

As far as the release is concerned there is no big advantage to having dual processors and lots of cores as the bottleneck is building pandas (there is Cmake #47380 and meson lithomas1/pandas#19 under consideration, so could change in the future)

In fact the last patch release and the 1.4 release candidate were done from a laptop as I was away from base.

We should probably look to get the master branch on this repo updated.

Although, we also are considering cibuildwheel for building wheels #44027 so that will make the mechanics of doing the release more straightforward and more visible to the rest of the core team in the future.

Thanks @lithomas1 I've reposted your comments elsewhere.

Let's keep the discussion in this PR about getting these changes into master for now (if needed)
