With the latest changes to the release process, we now have official release/* branches in this repo. It'll be beneficial to maintain a release/* branch with changes from the nightly branch during a release month.
The action should:
- Cherry pick the PR commit / apply the PR as a patch
- Regenerate Dockerfiles and Readmes
- Submit a pull request to the target branch.
- Have some way of notifying the requestor if regenerating Dockerfiles/Readmes from templates failed.
