Where does checking branches to merge them with trunk fit in the

In Chill or Frost? It would be good that there is more joint attention
on merging branches (if possible and in good state off course) ...
See also Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz's message in the thread "info to devel
groups".
Thanks for raising this point. For branches that add features and are
done and ready to go, Chill is the right phase to do this review and
integration. In fact it may be a good idea to include that as a
distinct effort in Chill.
During Frost, branches that add features will be integrated into the
experimental branch where they can be tested. If they're found to be
100% finished and solid, and get thorough testing and review to the
extent we're certain they're without risk, IOW are production-ready,
the branch can be promoted to mainline and included in the release.
Same for merging the patches from bug reports
(

These also should receive review attention during Chill, but bug fix
branches are also fine to include during Frost.
These are also ok to be merged during Freeze, although note that they
should be committed to Mainline, and then cherrypicked to Stable.
Same thing during Hard Freeze, except you'd merge to Mainline and a
Release Warden would do the cherrypick.
