Description

Apparently, some projects have the stable version encoded at the beginning of their branch names and not the end. This means that the bot needs another config toggle to facilitate static suffixes. Branches like 3.8 and stable-3.8, or stable/3.8 work but 3.8-stable don't.

This use case was brought up by @ekohl.

Research direction

Start by locating the configuration and branch-name matching entry points in the Python GitHub App. Check how branches such as 3.8, stable-3.8, and stable/3.8 are currently recognized; done means a configuration option supports static suffixes and 3.8-stable is handled without breaking the existing forms.
