As is we do not block people merging to main branches during release process... Then once the release is done just create a PR from the `release/xxx` branch. The current way of releasing is a bit of legacy from svn days, > > > > > > > > > > > > Bah, even more work... > > > > > > > > > says the one is asking people to create jira for everything :P actually it's just 2 command line: > > > ``` > > > * git checkout -b release/.... > > > > > > * when done with the release from from the branch: `gh pr create -B` > > > ``` > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I just find the "hey guys hold on your merge for a week or two I'm releasing so nobody touch anything" a bit archaic svn/cvs style :) But this was just a comment from the peanut gallery.

Can you explain? > > You have `maven-3.8.x` ready for `3.8.25` release. so create a branch `release/3.8.25`, then start the release process from this branch. At the end, you can create a PR from `release/3.8.25` to `maven-3.8.x` or just increment version in `maven-3.8.x` (as long as you have the tag, does the commit by the m-release-p really matter?) What is master has developed from then? A ff-merge isn't possible anymore, no? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
