Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Where do release branches come from?

[chuck c <bubbasnmp@xxxxxxxxx>]

There are currently three active branches: (https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/branches/active)

master, master-3.2 and release-3.4

My merge requests are to "master".

If appropriate, it also gets backported (https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html/#ChSrcBackport) to master-3.2 and/or release-3.4.

Soon (for some value of "soon") there will be a 3.6 branch.

How do commits get from "master" (dev branch) to a stable branch?

Will all of the commits in "master" make it to "release-3.6"?
