When building the RC for Mongoid 9.0.11, the process failed because I'm using Ruby 4.0, but the 9.0-stable branch isn't entirely 4.0-friendly. It left the release process in a bit of limbo that I had to manually patch up. It'd be nice if the release code could be invoked multiple times, idempotently, by detecting which steps have already completed and skipping them, rather than (e.g.) trying to recreate a branch that already exists.
