<p dir="auto">Maybe a proposal along with out current process but more precise:</p>
<ol dir="auto">
<li>Only one LTS release ongoing supported for 3 years.</li>
<li>The definition of LTS is that releases will be made during that time on a bi-monthly basis (could be skipped if no changes),</li>
<li>Features can enter that release according to the rules in <code>Introducing new features / modifying behavior</code> from <a href="https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/merge_requests/816" data-original="!816" data-link="false" data-link-reference="false" data-project="179611" data-merge-request="19675089" data-reference-type="merge_request" data-container="body" data-placement="bottom" title="WIP: CONTRIBUTING.md: added proposal on commenting style and new features" class="gfm gfm-merge_request has-tooltip">!816</a>.</li>
<li>Security fixes could enter that release if above the severity level high.</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Currently the only ongoing LTS release is 3.3.x and is expected (according to the milestone info for 3.3.x), to end in march 2019.</p>
<p dir="auto">(3) is so that we don't need to branch master from the LTS unless really necessary. (4) is so that we can untie our hands on very complex fixes which are of moderate/medium or low levels. What do you think?</p>
