[basil]

(cherry picked from commit c502a26 / #7138)

Proposed changelog entries

Support staging of releases (regression in 2.361).

Proposed upgrade guidelines

N/A

Submitter checklist

• (If applicable) Jira issue is well described
• Changelog entries and upgrade guidelines are appropriate for the audience affected by the change (users or developer, depending on the change) and are in the imperative mood. Examples
  • Fill-in the Proposed changelog entries section only if there are breaking changes or other changes which may require extra steps from users during the upgrade
• Appropriate autotests or explanation to why this change has no tests
• New public classes, fields, and methods are annotated with @Restricted or have @since TODO Javadoc, as appropriate.
• New deprecations are annotated with @Deprecated(since = "TODO") or @Deprecated(forRemoval = true, since = "TODO") if applicable.
• New or substantially changed JavaScript is not defined inline and does not call eval to ease future introduction of Content-Security-Policy directives (see documentation on jenkins.io).
• For dependency updates: links to external changelogs and, if possible, full diffs

Desired reviewers

@mention

Maintainer checklist

Before the changes are marked as ready-for-merge:

• There are at least 2 approvals for the pull request and no outstanding requests for change
• Conversations in the pull request are over OR it is explicit that a reviewer does not block the change
• Changelog entries in the PR title and/or Proposed changelog entries are accurate, human-readable, and in the imperative mood
• Proper changelog labels are set so that the changelog can be generated automatically
• If the change needs additional upgrade steps from users, upgrade-guide-needed label is set and there is a Proposed upgrade guidelines section in the PR title. (example)
• If it would make sense to backport the change to LTS, a Jira issue must exist, be a Bug or Improvement, and be labeled as lts-candidate to be considered (see query).
