Closes #1483.

Notes

  • I wrote this with the assumption that we'll be doing cascade-based merges rather than cherry-picking, as @coopernetes suggested in Enforce GitLabFlow branching strategy #1483
  • We might want to add a section to explain which versions will be supported, in order to limit the amount of extra work and merge conflicts when cascading bugfixes. For example, only the latest of each major version (currently 1.19 and 2.0)
  • Another assumption is that release-drafter.yml and npm.yml have already been rewritten to support multiple release branches (I'll be rewriting and testing those soon, hopefully will have them ready within a week or so!)
  • I mentioned that releases are supposed to follow a cadence, but I never specified what that cadence should be. We should decide on an appropriate cadence (say, every three months) or remove that part entirely.

Would love to hear your thoughts! @finos/git-proxy-maintainers
