+### Release checklist
+* [ ] Bump version in `mix.exs`
+* [ ] Compile a changelog with the `tools/collect-changelog` script
+* [ ] Create an MR with an announcement to pleroma.social
+#### post-merge
+* [ ] Tag the release on the merge commit
+* [ ] Make the tag into a Gitlab Release™
+* [ ] Merge `stable` into `develop` (in case the fixes are already in develop, use `git merge -s ours --no-commit` and manually merge the changelogs)
