You can merge from devel into release (as long as it's only bug fixes), but make sure you don't overwrite the version number. If the version number in release was 1.0.0 before the merge, make sure it is 1.0.1 before committing.
See https://www.bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/version-numbering/ for more.
