[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
 =main= branch into the =bugfix= branch.
 
+Do not hesitate to make new bugfix releases when there are new commits
+in the bugfix branch.  This way, more users on GNU ELPA can benefit
+from the recent bug fixes.  Considering a new bugfix release every two
+weeks or so might be a good idea.
