### Motivation

This should be done before the branch-off, and can be done by anyone, as the steps are  reproducible and reviewable.

### Possible solution

Follow the documentation: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-process.md#before-branch-off

### Useful Skills

* Compiling Bitcoin Core from source
* Running the C++ unit tests and the Python functional tests
* ...
