Yes.  See https://orgmode.org/worg/org-maintainance.html

Yes, thanks.

... because 9.4 is not yet released - or am I missing something?

On what commit would I add the "release_x.(y+1)-rc" on master, since
master is always moving forward?

releases and... master.

Let me know if I miss a very obvious use-case for a better setup.
