Description

### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Need a way to cherry fix patch fixes into a release branch, if we want to do patch releases at a faster cadence than minor releases. The script should also support basing the new release branch off of the latest release branch instead of main.

### Describe the solution you'd like

Create a script which can cherry pick changes from main into a branch and resolving versioning conflicts. The script should also support basing the new release branch off of the latest release branch instead of main.
