+
+## What to do know before cutting a release
+
+While `prometheus/common` does not have a formal release process. We strongly encourage you follow these steps:
+
+1. Scan the list of available issues / PRs and make sure that You attempt to merge any pull requests that appear to be ready or almost ready
+2. Notify the maintainers listed as part of [`MANTAINERS.md`](MAINTAINERS.md) that you're going to do a release.
+
+With those steps done, you can proceed to cut a release.
+
+## How to cut an individual release
+
+There is no automated process for cutting a release in `prometheus/common`. A manual release using GitHub's release feature via [this link](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases/new) is the best way to go. The tag name must be prefixed with a `v` e.g. `v0.53.0` and then you can use the "Generate release notes" button to generate the release note automagically ✨. No need to create a discussion or mark it a pre-release, please do mark it as the latest release if needed.
