.github/pull_request_template.md

 - [ ] Title matches the required conventional commits format, see [here](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/)
   - **Note** that Promtail is considered to be feature complete, and future development for logs collection will be in [Grafana Alloy](https://github.com/grafana/alloy). As such, `feat` PRs are unlikely to be accepted unless a case can be made for the feature actually being a bug fix to existing behavior.
 - [ ] Changes that require user attention or interaction to upgrade are documented in `docs/sources/setup/upgrade/_index.md`
-- [ ] For Helm chart changes bump the Helm chart version in `production/helm/loki/Chart.yaml` and update `production/helm/loki/CHANGELOG.md` and `production/helm/loki/README.md`. [Example PR](https://github.com/grafana/loki/commit/d10549e3ece02120974929894ee333d07755d213)
 - [ ] If the change is deprecating or removing a configuration option, update the `deprecated-config.yaml` and `deleted-config.yaml` files respectively in the `tools/deprecated-config-checker` directory. [Example PR](https://github.com/grafana/loki/pull/10840/commits/0d4416a4b03739583349934b96f272fb4f685d15)

+#### Versioning

+Normally contributors need _not_ bump the version nor update the [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/grafana/loki/blob/main/production/helm/loki/CHANGELOG.md). A new version of the Chart will follow this cadence:
+- Automatic weekly releases
+- Releases that coincide with Loki/GEL releases
+- Manual releases when necessary (ie. to address a CVE or critical bug)
