Notifications

• We have to notify AV vendors once the signed bits are on candidates directory (for email address and template example, see bug 568884#c15 )
• We have to give mirrors as much notice as possible before pushing to mirrors. This has been 24-72 hours, but has been up to a week in advance. (for email address and template example, see bug 633657 )
• We have to notify infra-all@ before "go to build" and before we ship. The more advance notice the better.
• We have to notify metrics once we release
