Any chance we could include #1328? @kevinjqliu just fixed the Windows tests, and it would be great to get this in 🙌

[kevinjqliu]

we should add python3 scripts/dependencies.py check to this section
https://rust.iceberg.apache.org/release.html#generate-dependencies-list

this was added in #1370 during the 0.5.0 release

@CTTY let me know when youre working on this step, https://rust.iceberg.apache.org/release.html#push-release-candidate-tag

You'll need committer permission to push the tag to this repo. I can help run the commands.

Should look something like #1325 (comment)
