########## docs/source/developers/release.rst: ########## @@ -36,8 +39,8 @@ Preparing for the release ========================= Before creating a source release, the Release Manager must ensure that any -resolved JIRAs have the appropriate Fix Version set so that the changelog is -generated properly. +resolved GitHub issues and any MINOR pull requests have the appropriate +milestone set so that the changelog is generated properly. Review Comment: The problem is that manually going over those issues is error prone and it'll depend on the release manager. I am ok with dependabot but ci changes should not be minor, from our minor definition it should only be minor typos. We could always add something in the lines: > Pull requests without a corresponding GitHub issue (MINOR) won't be detected by our cherry-pick script. Some manual commits like dependabot won't have a corresponding issue. If necessary those commits should be cherry-picked manually but it is encouraged to create an issue if a change might require to be added to a release in order to avoid manual intervention for cherry-picking. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
