Can someone please explain what's the reason of doing 3.12.1 so early,
just
after 5 days of 3.12?

May I understand, why the concern?


Honestly, I missed the fact that as per our release schedule 3.12.z is
scheduled for 10th of every months, so no real objection here, what has
been done here is as per the process.

On the other side of it, after relooking at .z updates schedule I was just
debating with myself do we have to absolutely be strict on the dates
especially when a new LTS release is pushed out to the users just few days
back and we come out with .1 updates with very limited number of bug fixes?
Probably a balance of the timeline and the volume of bug fixes is something
to be relooked at?

It seems like looking at schedule with scope in mind for a minor release, and in the past that has not worked, there is always something extra in the scope to be added (hence wait!) or nothing. The current scheme works, with the understanding around cut off dates and what constitutes backports etc. (IMO)


I am of the opinion that even if there is a single bugfix that would
help some users, we should do the release.

I think it is important for users to have the regular releases, and on
time. Every time a release gets delayed, packagers will need to adjust
their planning too.

It is unfortunate that the 3.12.0 release did not happen on the 10th of
August, that would have been ideal. This is probably something that can
be tried to schedule better for 3.13.0.

That would be 20 days less than the 3 months, adjusting the major release to the minor release schedule does not make sense to me. Instead, the first minor release, is either 10/20/30 days from the major release, works fine for most purposes IMO.

Further, there could be out of band minor release to address a blocker/security issue, which is the really unplanned one and could cause confusion, but it would be unavoidable in such cases.

As per the schedule? It's 10days since release.

Said another way, we have a scheduled maintenance day of the 10th for
this particular release:

Happy to welcome changes to this that make sense, because yes, it
periodically collides like this!

Minor releases are bug fix releases, so things available as bug fixes
will be pushed out. So if we want this changed, there needs to be
reasoning around it as well (just saying).
