Tasks: (must be done sequentially)

1. Make sure that gitmodules in ossm(https://gitlab.cee.redhat.com/istio/konflux/ossm) and kiali(https://gitlab.cee.redhat.com/istio/konflux/kiali) konflux repos points to the latest/desired/correct commits. (commits which are the latest ones in release branches)
   1. e.g. (for 3.0.3, gitmodules commit was '0fdb6a7e' which should be the latest one in release-3.0 branch that time)
2. Make sure that all desired PRs are merged in konflux and product repositories for release branches
3. Set the code freeze in Konflux. Update `renovate.json` in ossm and kiali konflux repos with `"automerge": false` in version branch
