[chef-dev] releases, github milestones, etc.

[Phil Dibowitz < >]

Heya devs,

This has come up tangentially in a few PRs, but I think it deserves a real
discussion.

How are we handling github milestones and releases - because it seems a lot
like milestones are not actually paid attention to in releases.

As an example, I tagged https://github.com/chef/chef/pull/3235 with 12.3.0
because it's a bugfix to 12.2.x and 12.3.0 came out today sans that.

So if we don't pull in all things with a milestone of X into an X release -
how do we actually as a team know what's going into a release? Shouldn't
everything with a milestone either be merged or someone post and say "I don't
think this is necessary for release X because of reason Y, can we schedule for
release X+1?" and then we change the milestone it's tagged with?
