Everyone is doing something wrong. I'm starting to wonder about using checklists for deployment (yes, your deployment should be automated. You still have to go through the checklist at least once). There are lots of them out there, but they seem pretty pretty general, mostly. There are also a lot that are internal to a given company, used for a specific application. It seems like there should be an intermediate level, though. Just like any OSS project is expected to have a readme and a changelog, it should also have a CHECKLIST.txt. Drop it into your checklists directory (or have a script that collects them for you) when you add a library to your project, and go through them all before releasing.
