The `release` branch is not a branch called release, but the branch starts from the release tag, like LuaJIT's branch v2.0: https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/tree/v2.0 > How long does LTS need to be maintained? One year or two years? I vote for two years. > And 1.5 is not a version suitable for long-term maintenance We can start to do it from 2.x when we have released 3.0 > Apache APISIX does not have the role of maintainer The `maintainer` is not a position, it can be anyone who have the time (or who wrote the code caused the bug).
