[PATCH] [WORG] Maintenance: on the frequency of bugfix releases

Even though we do not follow release schedule, I think that it is worth
adding a note about bugfix releases - there is really no reason to delay
them most of the time, as soon as we have new commits on bugfix.

What do you think about the attached patch?

 When doing a bugfix release (and only then), you shoud *NOT* merge the
