Dear all,
when we asked to grant commit rights for the release branch to all core
developers, we thought that certain rules would be self-evident. The most
important one is:
"Only backport commits from the trunk."
If we start committing stuff into the release, it might be lost afterwards.
Another (self-evident) rule is:
"No new features are committed to the release without previous discussion with
the release managers."
Please maintain discipline. Managing releases and branches is a non-trivial
task and we should be extra careful. If you can't manage this discipline, just
don't commit to the release!
Best,
Martin
