How are new releases of this project made? What if that process breaks? #8

Hello,

Thank you for this contribution - it's quite important in the community and I know a lot of developers depend on it.

I'm a little concerned with the single point of failure this presents in the update process for sites that depend on it.

Is there an automated process for pushing out updates to this project when a new release of Drupal core is made? How does that process work? What if it breaks?

If it breaks, and the maintainer is not around to fix it, sites that depend on it will not be able to update Drupal core. This can be a major problem if there was a security release of Drupal.

This project is updated automatically via CI scripts. Historically there have been very few problems with this project.

Shortly there will be a project similar to this one maintained via the drupal.org infrastructure that will run as part of the same automation that produces Drupal builds. That will increase stability somewhat.
