Hi Tim,
the release process for every release is having 4 weeks of stabilization
ex: for the proposed release
LTS release plan for 13.0.0
*
create the 13.0.0 branch on 1 March
*
back-port the fixes (no enhancements) for 4 weeks
*
create the RC0 release tag on 21 March and start the release vote
*
if RC0 passes create 13.0.0 LTS release
*
if RC0 does not pass we fix the issues and we create RC1 tag on 28 March and
start the release vote
LTS release maintenance
*
13.0.0 branch will receive bugfixes and security fixes for 15 months
*
planned LTS tags and releases
*
13.0.1 LTS end of Jun 2025
*
13.0.2 LTS end of September 2025
*
13.0.3 LTS end of December 2025
*
13.0.4 LTS end of March 2026
*
13.0.5 LTS end of Jun 2026
Regular releases are continuing on Jun, Sept, December
*
create 13.1.0 branch on 1 Jun
*
back-port the fixes (no enhancements) for 4 weeks
*
if RC0 passes create 13.1.0 release
*
if RC0 does not pass we fix the issues and we create RC1 tag and start the
release vote
Best regards
Alin

This is a vote for 13.0.0 which is an LTS candidate I would imagine.
Once out in the wild, any fixes (not enhancements, additions etc) would
be applied until it is deemed stable, then a vote on 13.0.1LTS would be
made.
So any PRs that relate to 13.0.1LTS need a procedure to mark them as
such, or a 13.0.1LTS branch created at the same time as 13.0.0 is
released perhaps and "fix" PRs based on that baseline? Or a suitable tag
to the PR allows a backport to 13.0.0 for the 13.0.1LTS release?
Other PRs that are not fixes but enhancements would become 13.0.2 perhaps?
Is that right? Does it make sense?
