Oliver Smith 4084d06f7b docs: approval-rules: simplify for stable branches 
Don't describe how MRs to stable branches are done here, link to the
other page instead. Otherwise the approval rules should be the same as
for stable branches from now on.

Oliver Smith 8d534ae3d6 docs: update merge-requests/stable-branches 
* Describe relevant changes, especially that we may make non-backport
  changes if there is a patch release for a package that meanwhile has a
  higher version in main already (e.g. a kernel in main is on linux
  7.x.y while stable is on 6.18.z).

* Directly pushing to a stable branch should only be done during initial
  branch bringup, otherwise we shall always make MRs that go through CI.

* Update formatting and title of the page.

and reword the sentences a bit, so that there will be no confusion that the
version of a package should always be bumped.

"2021-11" is completely unnecessary at this point, and adding that the
kernel must be upgraded regularly is redundant with the requirement of
3 kernel releases and a lot less objective. So keep the objective
wording and remove the one very up for interpretation.

It is extremely tedious to keep track of what the name of a particular
option was for every kernel release and when they were added. To keep
kconfigcheck maintainable, let's ease the burden on people adding new
options for community categories or other categories only required by
close-to-mainline kernel packages and only have them look back a
reasonable number of kernel versions.

Achill Gilgenast e38532b7f7 ci: relax pkgrel changes for packages that don’t have remote sources 
Motivation is to avoid unnecessary overhead for MR authors & no reason to
actually use pkgrel for meta-packages.

So instead, recommend pkgver-bumps & pkgrel=0 for metapackages, but don't
block MRs when they bumped the "wrong" one. Just make everyone's life easier.

See the meeting notes from the 2026-01-19:
(https://docs.postmarketos.org/policies-and-processes/governance/team-meetings/meeting-notes.html)

> Discussed pmaports!7770, possibly limiting the wait period for maintainer
> approval from 2 weeks to 1 week.
>
> We discussed to keep 2 weeks and make an issue template for “had to merge
> without maintainer review”, the new process will then be that the template
> gets filled out if a MR has to be merged without maintainer review after
> two weeks. The maintainer can then either say that they plan to review
> future merge requests, or indicate that they don’t want to maintain the
> thing anymore, or just not respond (which implies that they don’t want
> to maintain anymore). That way we should be able to get the listed
> maintainers to reflect reality better.
>
> Everyone reading this, please make sure you are not listed as maintainer
> for packages that you don’t plan to do reviews for anymore :)

Currently, even if dint fails for some reason, the documentation

dint and raising an exception if it isn't zero.

To facilitate this, also replace call() with run() since it's a more
