Merge Request Guidelines

<!-- TODO: Add more merge request workflow guidelines -->

Merge Request Description

If there are related issues, add their URLs to the description of the merge request under the heading References.

Add quick commands at the bottom of the description:

• Add a line with /assign me so the MR is assigned to the author.
• Add a line with /milestone <milestone> where the <milestone> corresponds to the milestone in the file ./VERSION
  • For example, if ./VERSION contains 18.11.0-pre, use the milestone %18.11.
