Add text about patch labels for plugin repos

[ohltyler]

Signed-off-by: Tyler Ohlsen ohltyler@amazon.com

Description

Adds text around plugins having a patch label to use for any plugin-specific patches (the 4th digit maintained by plugins). This way, the release labels (e.g., v1.0.0) can match core (only 3 digits).

Adds text around all repositories having an additional patch label to track patch commits.

I like it. What does @saratvemulapalli, @nknize or @CEHENKLE think about this?

I will go and create the label in all the repos via meta after we merge.

Its nice, i like it!

Actually re-reading this I don't think it only applies to plugin repositories as specified. Anything that releases under semver needs patches. I would remove that part. WDYT @ohltyler ?

[ohltyler]

@dblock since core is maintaining the third-digit patch version with the labels already (e.g., v1.0.0), I was thinking it was unnecessary to add a redundant patch label. Although maybe it is still helpful in terms of being consistent with all plugins, so all patch changes can be tracked the same way across the org. I don't have a strong opinion about that either way.

@dblock @saratvemulapalli if both of you agree this can apply to all repos and not just plugins, I'll go ahead and update the text so we can wrap up this PR

I think it should be applied to all repos, @saratvemulapalli ?

[saratvemulapalli]

Sure I agree it should apply to all repos, assuming our versioning will stay consistent across the project.
but keep in mind that there could be outliers like documentation repos, opensearch-build etc.

@dblock @saratvemulapalli please see updates - removed the wording around the patch label being plugin-repo-specific.

[dblock]

I merged this. I'll queue up creating a patch label across all repos.

I created patch labels in all repos via https://github.com/opensearch-project/project-meta, ghi label 'patch' -c '#dd8e2c' if anyone needs to do it on another repo.
