Create the release branch in GitLab

For more information, refer to Creating release branches for RHBQ documentation procedure.

1. In GitLab, edit each Pipeline schedule to determine whether it is Activated.  * If so, deselect {}Activated{*}. This avoids the unwanted creation of MRs and commits during the doc freeze process.
2. Create the release branch in https://gitlab.cee.redhat.com/quarkus-documentation/quarkus, not in your local or remote fork. 
3. Name the branch according to the feature release version, such as quarkus-3-8, following the standard naming convention.

1. Navigate to Code > Commits in GitLab and verify that the commit histories for the release branch and main match each other exactly.
2. Protect the feature branch. Go to Settings > Repository > Protected Branches. Select the release branch and enable protection.
3. Request a peer review for quality. Ask a colleague to review the new branch, focusing on the accuracy and completeness of the content, especially for recent changes. See
