Document how to release an emergency fix that doesn't include what's currently on main #1934

Open joelanman opened 1 year ago

What

Document how to do an emergency fix that doesn't include what's currently on main. We've had to do this recently (13.2.2) and it would be good to document how to do it for future reference.

Why

Releasing like this is not exactly the same as a normal release, so it would be good to document so we can do it consistently and without issues
