Will update patch release process later since there's an open question of whether we should automate cherry-picking or not for patch releases since it requires requesting a CLA exception:

Bot accounts are not recommended, as they require special work to pass CLA checks. If pushing automatically-generated, non-copyrightable code using a bot account is required, an explanation should be sent to the Governance Committee for review and forwarding to the EasyCLA team to exempt the bot's commits from the CLA requirement.
