[Maintenance] Automatically release security patches #58
Description
Maintenance Task
Following #57, updates to Docker image patch versions should automatically release a new patch version of the Observability stack.
Motivation
Solving security issues by automatically updating them is nice, but worthless if not delivered to the end user.
Therefore it is necessary to also release a new version of the Observability stack that can be shipped to the systems.
Proposed Solution
- Patch versions (security fixes, without breaking changes) are merged automatically
- A release with a new patch version is created automatically after such merges
- A changelog entry is created containing the updated versions
- The release name and description adheres to a normal release
- Updates are grouped if possible to reduce the number of releases
Additional Context
Changelog and release notes are nice to have, because it may be difficult to implement.
