In this case, I had specified 1-2 years  following our current behavior.

We could maybe soften that a bit by adding the word "generally" such as
below.

"The GEOS project generally releases a new minor release every 1-2 years.
Each minor release has a git repo dedicated branch for it named after the
minor version."

Our cadence is something I think is useful for users and packagers  of GEOS
to know, so they know when they can expect new features.
As  Greg stated, I would not want to say we absolutely follow this, though I
can't remember a time we haven't pushed out a new minor release for longer
than 2 years.
