  • Split out automated testing into a stage 0.
  • Flesh out release cycle.
  • Define the process for normal patch releases.

We do automated testing before we test on infra, etc. Make that explicit.

## Performing a Release

The release is managed by the `Lead Maintainer` for `go-ipfs`. It starts with the opening of an issue containing the content available on the [RELEASE_ISSUE_TEMPLATE](./RELEASE_ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md). Then, the 4 stages will be followed until the release is done.

an issue on go ipfs with a certain tag? Do we also want to communicate the opening of that release elsewhere such that it notifies people who maybe don't want to follow all go-ipfs releases (like a "pre-release" RC on github?)

I've added a github tag ("release") and an item to the checklist for cutting a prerelease using through github (so users can subscribe to releases).
