+	<h2 id="stable">Stable releases</h2>
+	<p>Stable point releases follow mainline releases.
+	<p>After each -rc tag and after the final version, relevant bug fixes get
+        backported by the stable maintainers into the respective branches in "bursts".
+	<p>Developers can provide stable-specific patches by sending them to stable at dpdk.org
+        only (avoiding dev at dpdk.org).
+	<p>After all the relevant bugfixes have been backported, regression tests are ran,
+        and if clear, the stable release is announced.
+	<p>Typically a new stable release version follows a mainline release by 1-2 weeks, depending
+        on the test results.
