+gitlab-milestones.txt
+-----------------------
+
+This document describes how the GIMP project uses milestones in the
+GNOME gitlab issue tracker found at:
+https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp
+
+
+Stable milestone
+----------------
+
+The bugs on a stable milestone, e.g. on the 2.8 milestone if GIMP
+2.8 is the stable release, are bugs for which fixes will be accepted
+onto the stable branch.
+
+Reports for bugs that are fixed in the stable branch should have the
+stable milestone set. Usually such a fix is done in the development
+branch and then cherry-picked to the stable branch.
+
+
+Next stable milestone
+---------------------
+
+The bugs/enhancement requests on the next stable milestone, e.g. on
+the 2.10 milestone if GIMP 2.8 is the stable release, are bugs or
+enhancement requests scheduled and planned for inclusion in the next
+stable version. This list is rather dynamic and will be altered during
+the execution of a development cycle.
+
+If you fix a bug or implement a feature request for the next release,
+then please make sure that the milestone is set accordingly. This
+allows us to make a list of changes by looking at the resolved bugs on
+the milestone.
+
+
+Future milestone
+----------------
+
+The bugs/enhancement requests on the Future milestone are things that
+the GIMP project eventually want to include in a future version, but
+in what version is not yet decided.
