+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
-- If the "major release" input is set to "yes", release a new major release
-  (e.g. 7.0.0 -> 8.0.0)
-- If there are any ``.feature.rst`` or ``.breaking.rst`` files in the
-  ``changelog`` directory, release a new minor release (e.g. 7.0.0 -> 7.1.0)
-- Otherwise, release a bugfix release (e.g. 7.0.0 -> 7.0.1)
-- If the "prerelease" input is set, append the string to the version number
-  (e.g. 7.0.0 -> 8.0.0rc1), if "major" is set, and "prerelease" is set to `rc1`)

-Bug-fix and minor releases are always done from a maintenance branch. First,
-consider double-checking the ``changelog`` directory to see if there are any
-breaking changes or new features.
+Where ``5.1.x`` is the maintenance branch for the ``5.1`` series.
 
-For a new minor release, first create a new maintenance branch from ``main``::
+The automated workflow will publish a PR for a branch ``release-5.1.2``
+and notify it as a comment in the issue.
 
-     git fetch upstream
-     git branch 7.1.x upstream/main
-     git push upstream 7.1.x
-
-Then, trigger the workflow with the following inputs:
-
-- branch: **7.1.x**
-- major release: **no**
-- prerelease: empty
-
-Or via the commandline using `GitHub's cli <https://github.com/cli/cli>`__::
-
-    gh workflow run prepare-release-pr.yml -f branch=7.1.x -f major=no -f prerelease=
-
-Where ``7.1.x`` is the maintenance branch for the ``7.1`` series. The automated
-workflow will publish a PR for a branch ``release-7.1.0``.
-
-Similarly, for a bug-fix release, use the existing maintenance branch and
-trigger the workflow with e.g. ``branch: 7.0.x`` to get a new ``release-7.0.1``
-PR.

-Major releases
+Minor releases

+Major and release candidates
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
-The automated workflow will publish a PR for a branch ``release-8.0.0``.
+1. Create a new maintenance branch from ``main``::
+
+        git fetch --all
+        git branch 6.0.x upstream/main
+        git push upstream 6.0.x
+
+2. For a **major release**, open a new issue and add this comment in the body::
+
+        @pytestbot please prepare major release from 6.0.x
+
+   For a **release candidate**, the comment must be (TODO: `#7551 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7551>`__)::
+
+        @pytestbot please prepare release candidate from 6.0.x
+
+The automated workflow will publish a PR for a branch ``release-6.0.0`` and
+notify it as a comment in the issue.
 
 At this point on, this follows the same workflow as other maintenance branches: bug-fixes are merged
 into ``main`` and ported back to the maintenance branch, even for release candidates.
 
-Release candidates
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

-To release a release candidate, set the "prerelease" input to the version number
-suffix to use. To release a ``8.0.0rc1``, proceed like under "major releases", but set:

-- branch: 8.0.x
-- major release: yes
-- prerelease: **rc1**

-Or via the commandline::

-    gh workflow run prepare-release-pr.yml -f branch=8.0.x -f major=yes -f prerelease=rc1

-The automated workflow will publish a PR for a branch ``release-8.0.0rc1``.

    We will only start the removal of deprecated functionality in major releases (e.g. if we deprecate something in 3.0 we will start to remove it in 4.0), and keep it around for at least two minor releases (e.g. if we deprecate something in 3.9 and 4.0 is the next release, we start to remove it in 5.0, not in 4.0).
 
-   A deprecated feature scheduled to be removed in major version X will use the warning class `PytestRemovedInXWarning` (a subclass of :class:`~pytest.PytestDeprecationwarning`).
-
-   When the deprecation expires (e.g. 4.0 is released), we won't remove the deprecated functionality immediately, but will use the standard warning filters to turn `PytestRemovedInXWarning` (e.g. `PytestRemovedIn4Warning`) into **errors** by default. This approach makes it explicit that removal is imminent, and still gives you time to turn the deprecated feature into a warning instead of an error so it can be dealt with in your own time. In the next minor release (e.g. 4.1), the feature will be effectively removed.
