to a release-0.2.x branch, manually commit the changelogs to the later
git branches too.
+ If you're doing the first stable release in a series, you need to
+ create a ReleaseNotes for the series as a whole. To get started
+ there, copy all of the Changelog entries from the series into a new
+ file, and run `./scripts/maint/sortChanges.py` on it. That will
+ group them by category. Then kill every bugfix entry for fixing
+ bugs that were introduced within that release series; those aren't
+ relevant changes since the last series. At that point, it's time
+ to start sorting and condensing entries. (Generally, we don't edit the
+ text of existing entries, though.)

4. In `maint-0.2.x`, bump the version number in `configure.ac` and run
`scripts/maint/updateVersions.pl` to update version numbers in other
places, and commit. Then merge `maint-0.2.x` into `release-0.2.x`.
