Description

We've done a good job at automating most of the release management rules. One chore that remains to be done manually, and, as a consequence, is usually forgotten, is:

Merges with 'master' must be followed by a rebase of 'draft' onto 'master'.

Let's find a better (automatied) way to keep draft in-sync with master.

  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked release management rules and the repository's existing automation around merges to master. Determine how draft is currently updated and define a verifiable workflow in which draft is automatically rebased or otherwise kept in sync after each relevant merge; the issue names no files or tests.
