Personally, merging and porting back to three branches are painful enough, especially we don't have merging script and having verbose process (I mean CHANGELOG). It would be better if merging process is automated (by running script or so), so I'd +1 to revisit Harsha's suggestion (adopting Kafka merge script) and modify script to fit to Storm. (It will not work if it's the case we need to handle PRs for each version line, since 'Close' in commit log doesn't close the PR if its target branch is not master.)
Anyway, without automation I don't want to maintain more version lines. I'm looking at the announces from other projects, and others are only maintaining two version lines. Since we maintain 2.0.0 version line we can't reduce version lines to 2, but hopefully at most 3. Btw, let's check pending pull requests and enumerate which can be included in 1.0.0, and start/finish review and merge them soon. For me Supervisor V2 and Pacemaker H/A, and pending Storm SQL PRs can be included, since they are small or in reviewing and expected to pass review phase soon. (And some small PRs. There're other valuable PRs in PR list but I'm not sure we can review them soon. One example is unified API.) One issue which is not clear is STORM-2006 <https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/1595>. This is a candidate for me, but gets blocked while reviewing. If we plan to put great effort to revise Metric we can skip this. Please enumerate other PRs as well if you want to include in 1.1.0.
