alexcrichton opened PR #14051 from alexcrichton:new-release-process to bytecodealliance:main:

This commit is an implementation of the changes described in #13622 for Wasmtime's release process. The intention here is to change Wasmtime's versioning scheme, publish release candidates to GitHub releases and crates.io, and additionally not increase the maintenance burden of doing any of this too much. Notably:

• On main the version number will now always be X.0.0-dev
• On creation of a release branch (5th of each month) one more PR will be created. The preexisting PR bumps from X.0.0-dev on main to (X+1).0.0-dev. The new PR bumps from X.0.0-dev to X.0.0-rc.1 on the release-X.0.0 branch. On merge the second PR will actually publish the rc.1 version.
• A new manually triggered action argument is available to bump from X.0.0-rc.N to X.0.0-rc.(N+1) and publish that. This is intended to be manually used if necessary to test out fixes/releases/etc.
• Upon publication all previous rc.N releases are yanked from crates.io. All rc.N releases are marked as "pre release" on GitHub. Our documentation says there's no support for these releases.

Effectively we'll have one extra PR to hit merge on, and additionally will have the ability to publish more RCs.

In implementing this I went ahead and migrated the scripts/publish.rs script to a proper Rust crate with dependencies at crates/misc/publish.

Closes #13622
