2.7.1 (LTS) release?

[Maximilian Michels]

Hi everyone,

I know we are in the midst of releasing 2.10.0, but with the release process 
taking its time I consider creating a patch release for this issue in the 
FlinkRunner: https://jira.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-5386

Initially I thought it would be good to do a 2.9.1 release, but since we have an 
LTS version, we should probably do a 2.7.1 (LTS) release instead.

What do you think? I could only find one Fix Version 2.7.1 issue in JIRA: 
https://jira.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20BEAM%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%202.7.1

Best,
Max
