Hi Chia-Ping, There isn't anything specific to 4.1.0, same rules as usual apply.
After feature freeze, we shouldn't merge new major features into 4.1. Stabilization fixes are fine. There is some flexibility with minor features but always communicate and ask in the release thread (here). Bug fixes can be backported especially blockers, regressions and dependency updates to mitigate CVEs. Again if you're unsure, feel free to tag me in PRs or ask here. The next milestone is code freeze on May 25.
