+Releases are done by creating a [new release](https://github.com/getporter/porter/releases/new)
+This will trigger the Github Action Pipelines to build and publish the new release to Github and 
+the Website. After this is done, we update the [CNCF Slack Channel](https://cloud-native.slack.com/) (#porter) & [Mailing List](https://groups.io/g/porter).

+## Issue Response Timeline
