After some discussion with @froschdesign , I think the main point of contention I have is usage of the word "next". The usage of the words "patch", "minor", and "major" as parentheticals is good as it helps educate users about semver terminology.
I think just having:
- "2.12.x bugfix release (patch)"
- "Feature release (minor)"
- "Backwards incompatible release (major)"
would work fine.

I left a comment in the #contributors channel of the Slack, but I'm going to put it here as well, as I'd like to have a record.
Are the milestones for users, or maintainers? The reason I ask is because:
- Users cannot assign to a milestone.
- Maintainers assign to milestones to know "when is this release done?"
I could see that changing if we want to use milestones to link to users "here is what is coming next". But even then, we'll likely link to a specific milestone, and, generally speaking, the description text gets lost in:
- The milestone name
- The progress bar
- The list of issues/PRs associated with it
See this one as an example:
I don't even miss the description in there, because there's so much else present.
I guess I'm not sure that we need descriptions at all when they refer to a version. We can link to semver.org if they want to understand what is next. And we could end up with a lot of "next bug fix release" entries that make things MORE confusing for users (unless they also note "in the X.Y series", as you note in the issue summary). When we look at closed milestones, these descriptions are also a bit weird as they refer to "next", but they're now closed, because they were either released or abandoned.
I think the version name, by itself, should be enough; beyond that, look at the issues assigned to it.
