 The current Ooni release document covers how to do a release.  What about
 the "next release"?  It would be nice to specify (or link to) a
 description of the process for preparing a next release.  This should
 cover details like:

 * how to find the deadline, schedule, version number, for the next
 release.
 * how to find all tickets specific to the next release.
 * any details about "meta-criteria" or the process of release planning.
 Some examples:
   * "we have a monthly meeting to discuss the next release"
   * "we do a feature freeze, then release on a strict 3-month periodic
 schedule"
   * "after we make a release, we have a meeting and decide on all tickets
 which are targets for the next release, and we make releases whenever
 those tickets are closed."

 It can also be useful to define a release process for emergency security
 fix releases, because it's especially nice to be prepared in that case.  A
 good technique here is to assign a single person unambiguously as
 responsible for a security release to prevent people from blocking or
 stalling due to responsibility confusion.
