Steps to create stable/<release> branch

Awesome! We've decided as a group to create the next stable branch. Here are some steps to remind you on how to do it.

1. Go to for each repo as a core member and create the branch with the SHA you want.
2. To get Gerrit to report to the #openstack-chef channel create the "stable/<release_name>" via openstack-infra/project-config project under: gerritbot/channels.yaml. Something like this is an example. You may be required to remove an old branch too, keep this in mind.
3. Wait for the Patch to be merged by Infra
4. create Berks.lock, Gemfile.lock, (need a longer list)
5. Create a review with the above and put it up against the stable/<release> branch.
6. Get it merged in and you should be good
