Documentation backporting

Description

I recently noticed that the documentation created after x.y release (even 1 day after) never reflected at docs.ruby-lang.org/<x.y>.0/.

In discussion here I was educated by @hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA) that the source of docs.ruby-lang.org/<x.y>.0/ is actually a branch ruby_<x_y>, so in order to appear at docs.ruby-lang.org, documentation should be "backported" into the proper branch, which usually does not happen.

A few examples (documentation submitted by me, but it is not that I consider "my" documentation the most important, it is just easier for me to track):

IMPORTANT: It is just two random examples, I believe there are numerous problems like that.

I wonder how this should be addressed:

  • should somebody gather all the occurrences to "commits that should be picked into the proper branches"?
  • can it be done in some systematic manner?
  • can at least currently developed (3.0's) enhancements be "backported" in some automatic manner (PR labels?..)

  • Status changed from Open to Closed

I've asked @usa (Usaku NAKAMURA), one of the branch maintainers. He said "If you want a change to be backported, please create a backport ticket with a master commit or a patch. I will review them and determine whether each of them should be backported or not."

To adding mame-san's comment,

  • You should create the backport ticket on redmine (this site) as "Bug" tracker and "Closed" status, with "REQUIRED" backport status.

Unfortunately, I don't have enough rights to use statuses other than Open, neither to fill the Backport field.
