* Note that several steps can already be done even if the community repo
is not published yet in Alpine.
* Adjusting arches in .ci/build-jobs.yaml.j2 is not needed anymore, CI
scripts read them from pmaports.cfg now.
* Branch protection: we have a v2*.* rule in place now that protects new
release branches automatically, adjust wording to just double check if
it still matches and add a link (in 2030 it will not match anymore.)
* channels.cfg: cover case that the aports branch may not exist yet in
pre-branch phase.
* Use git commit -s in example commands.
* postmarketos-ui-asteroid currently doesn't exist anymore, so we don't
need to delete it for stable.
* Add the command for regenerating cross packages.
* Remove postmarketos-repo-nightly in stable.
* Bootstrap of binary packages: tweak wording, mention that only the
main repo needs to be built for x86_64 before arm repos can be
enabled, we don't need to wait for the x86_64 systemd repo.
* Adjust to QEMU devices not being in main anymore.
* Various syntax fixes and readability improvements.

> 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 :)

When failing to boot, phones show up as a removable storage device with
lots of very useful debug info. Let's encourage folks to upload it.

[ci:skip-build] already built successfully in CI
Previously this was set in the project settings, but according to the
GitLab documentation this can now be set using this file since GitLab
version 14.8. Keep it here to make sure it's version controlled as well.
