Craig Scott 6161a64a52 maint: Add further details about merging topics to release branch
The Maintain Current Release instructions previously assumed that
the topic branch had been merged to master. Add text to make this
explicit in the instructions as an initial verification step.

The previous instructions also made no mention of the commit
message for the merge to the release branch. This needs to include
a footer that mentions the merge request number for tracking
purposes.
