We can't use the github squash and merge workflow on the release branch, it 
makes it so the PR and the commit is not correctly linked. So we use a script 
to merge PR's from the release branch instead, this script does a straight 
rebase merge, so when we have multiple commits that are iterative work in a 
release pr we ask the backporters to squash them. I can also do it if you 
prefer.

This limitation is only for the release branches and we hope that the bug we 
have with the github merge button will go away at some point.
