Description

As discussed on the last call, we'd like to be better about semantic versioning. The plan for this is to cut release branches which we can back port bug fixes onto, and keep new features for minor releases. We need to develop some processes for marking which PRs should get back ported, and for doing the back porting.

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by turning the semantic-versioning plan into an agreed process for marking PRs for backporting, maintaining release branches, and keeping new features for minor releases; done means the workflow is documented and actionable.
