There is no official point release process.

We expect the distros to sync from the release branch if they want
the latest fixes.

We only produce official minor releases e.g. 2.28, and even then
just to provide official tarballs for projects that still follow
that kind of process (it helps our logical process flow forward
in a time boxed fasion with useful names for groups of changes).
