[LTP] [PATCH 0/5] Release scripts and docs

[Li Wang]

Hi Petr, All,

Thanks for writing down the release procedure, very useful.

But I doubt that we really need the scripts to do release work
automatically since we _only_ do the release every four months.
It seems to bring additional maintenance work unnecessarily.

I personally think the manual step is detailed enough for us.
But anyway, now you have done the automation, I don't have
an objection to your patch set, just feel that we automate for the
sake of automation :).

I'd like to hear more opinions, but if most of us think the script is
necessary, I'm happy to accept them as well.
