[mylyn-dev] development process

We are still in the process of figuring out the best strategy for the 
maintenance branch. On today's call we agreed to the following:

- set the milestone to 2.3 for each bug that is fixed on the maintenance 
branch
- add the [m2.3.x] (x == maintenance revision) tag to the title of the bug to 
mark fixes that go into a particular release
- commit the fix to the branch as well as to head

My suggestion is that we also attach patches to the corresponding bugs for all 
changes that are committed to the maintenance branch. My thinking is that it 
makes it easy for other committers to review changes. It also helps to track 
if a change is committed to the branch as well as to head. 

It is important that we don't introduce regressions for the maintenance 
branch. Less committers will work bootstrapped from the branch and weekly 
builds will have less exciting changes. Meaning we are likely to get less 
feedback for changes made to the branch and run at higher risk to miss 
regressions.
