Great work! Yunze. There are a lot of work before current release process, maybe we should also include these:
1. Start a discussion on the mail list about the release. We can provide a template to include more clear info about opening PRs and PRs to be cherry-picked to the released branch. 2. Handling all the opening PRs and PRs to be cherry-picked. 2.1 Revisit the PR if it should be ported to the released branch. The release label may not be correct. 2.2 Cherry-pick merged PR to the released branch. If there are too many conflicts, we can ask the PR author to open a new PR to the released branch. If the PR can be cherry-picked directly, we should also check the CI status of the branch after we push them directly. 2.3 It would be better if we have a clear time window that we should wait until we postpone the PR to the next release.
