 `main` is the only "active development" branch, new features should go to this branch. Topic branches may exist for older releases for bug fixing purposes, for example `3.10-branch` for the 3.10.X releases.
 
+`rhelX-branch` branches are used for backporting and testing changes for RHEL releases, but the RHEL development itself happens on the [CentOS Stream GitLab repository](https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/python-blivet/). In general changes for RHEL should go to the `main` branch first and will be then backported to the appropriate RHEL branches manually.

 Note that before the 3.11 release cycle the branching model used to be different with separate branches for development and releases, see the `CONTRIBUTING` file on the `3.10-devel` branch for more details.
