e.g. `release/v1.9.x`, then enter the pull request number that you want to backport,
then click the "Run workflow" button below that.
* Review and merge the backport pull request that it generates.
* Note: if the PR contains any changes to workflow files, it will have to be manually backported,
because the default `GITHUB_TOKEN` does not have permission to update workflow files (and the
`opentelemetrybot` token doesn't have write permission to this repository at all, so while it

* The heading for the unreleased entries should be `## Unreleased`.
* Run the [Prepare patch release workflow](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-instrumentation/actions/workflows/prepare-patch-release.yml).
