Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The documented patch-release flow can select a fork branch instead of the authoritative upstream release branch, risking an incorrect or failed release. The upstream branch check should be corrected before merge. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 3 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 inconclusive)
✅ Passed checks (3 passed)

@iNecas could you please take a look? |

Nitpick: There is some inconsistency when referencing the remotes, <fork> vs <remote> vs <upstream-remote>. Perhaps <fork-remote> and <upstream-remote> would be probably better.

small nitpick, but good to go otherwise. |
Document release-X.Y branches, cherry-pick PRs into the release line, and tagging from that branch so patches do not pick up unrelated main commits. Signed-off-by: Jayapriya Pai <janantha@redhat.com>

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Limit the branch-existence check to <upstream-remote>.
git branch -r searches every remote. A fork clone can contain origin/release-X.Y while <upstream-remote>/release-X.Y does not exist. The procedure can then skip creation from PREV_TAG, or git checkout ${RELEASE_BRANCH} can select the wrong branch or fail.
Query the exact upstream ref before choosing the existing-branch path.
