Help with backport to pre-v1.0

[dkarrasch]

To finalize JuliaLang/julia#26307, we need to backport the recent changes from #1136, since many packages still haven't bumped their compat entries to v1 and higher, see JuliaLang/julia#26307 (comment). So, I have a branch that does the backport, but I need a place to make a PR, from where a version v0.12.6 could be released. Could someone please help me with that?

I can help but I have never registered a patch to an older version yet. Is there a description of how that should be done somewhere?

[dkarrasch]

I believe it goes like this (@KristofferC ?):

1. You create a branch called release-0.12, branching off of the commit that is tagged with v0.12.5.
2. I make a PR against it. If all is correct, it should only have about 20 changed lines.
3. You merge that PR.
4. You call the JuliaRegistrator on that commit as usual.

OK, I've made the branch then: https://github.com/JuliaArrays/StaticArrays.jl/tree/release-0.12 .

I think this is solved now by #1146 and can be closed.
