Hello,

I created the branch based on
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/docs/release-process.md#re-releasing-the-same-version-or--pl.
Sorry for it in advance.

I understand Nikita's concerns and giving that now we have (in a security
fix, for example) the gitflow is `PHP-7.2` ~> `PHP-7.3` ~> `PHP-7.4`
~> `PHP-8.0` ~> `master`.

I wouldn't mind branching it another day, we just need to document if for
future reasons.
