[Pywps-dev] Development workflow proposal

[Tom Kralidis]

Thanks Luís.  FYI https://github.com/geopython/pywps/milestones is a pure
copy of https://github.com/PyWPS/pywps-4/milestones with the exception of
renaming the versions per below.  Feel free to update these accordingly if
there's information elsewhere that I missed.
