[PATCH 0/6] More automation in the release procedure

[Stefano Lattarini]

Hello automakers.

After some rounds of testing of 'maint', today I decided the time was
almost ripe for a 1.12.6 release.  Just after thinking that, I thought
"Nooo, here it comes another load of clerical work required by the
release process!".

Well, I guess that is a clear indicator of missing automation :-)
We can and should do better.  So I wrote this patch series to somewhat
lighten the burden of making a release.  While at it, I threw in some
related tweaks and improvements.

I intended to push this by tomorrow.  Any objection, observation,
suggestion?

Regards,
  Stefano
