There are no fixed cycles for releases. Currently, they are triggered as soon bugfixes, security updates or main features arriving.
First of all, prepare the release notes as usual, and merge them.
Once the release notes are ready, a release train is launched by tagging from main to vX.Y.Z.
The vX.Y.Z tag will go through the release CI.
If anything fails the release tag is dropped, the issue fixed in main and a new release train is started on a new tag.
