The openstack/releases repository is open for all official deliverables
(including stable releases for previous cycles), not just
release-with-milestone ones, and we are expected to update the repo in
addition to pushing signed git tags.

With that, streamlined the release request process to avoid Launchpad
from the release scheme: new release requests are tracked and managed in
gerrit only. A new request now starts with a patch for
openstack/releases that should be handled by neutron-release team
members and approved by release liaison before merged by global
OpenStack release team.
Branch creation/expiration is still funneled through LP.
While at it, also suggest switching version numbering to SemVer at
earliest convenience.
