Do we have a list of tasks that need to be performed upon branching?
I've seen emails for the Gerrit merge permissions, but am not sure about
other bits (Bugzilla version seems to exist already). At least someone
should look into the nightly builds+tests for the CentOS CI [4], let me
know if I should have a go at it.

Thanks,
Niels

With tags like this we need to add a release note that users who tested
packages with this version will need to downgrade when GA is done. This
is because 

    $ rpmdev-vercmp 3.11.0beta1 3.11.0-1
    3.11.0beta1 > 3.11.0-1

The previous scheme (like 3.10rc1) forced updates to users when the .0
release became available. Why was this changed?
