Quite a few high-profile libre software projects have a (roughly) predictable release cycle. Like Debian with its ~2y mayor release cycle, code freezes etc, Linux with its ~2wk merge window, -rc series & LTS versions, GCC with its minor releases on increasing timespan, etc.

Does NetBSD have a similar process? And if so, is this documented somewhere?

They have a release policy that is not yet official according to them but I believe they already try to apply but it doesn't yet matches what they have been doing: https://wiki.netbsd.org/releasing/
quoting:
"Timeline
The release engineering team will try to meet the following timeline
```
    One new major branch and release per year
    One point release for the newest stable branch every other month
    One point release for the old stable branch every quarter
```
"
history: https://netbsd.org/releases/formal.html#history
They took 4 months instead of 2 for the next one point release since 11.0 and have released one 10.2 since last update of the release document.
Hence the work in progress statement. I am personally fine with that. They could probably do with more workforce as many projects.

Whenever I see NetBSD it reminds me of AirPort Router. Quiet, Solid and Stable.
