Shall we add a path-ignore: filter for workflows and docs?

[mtar]

I can do it. We will have to bypass the branch protection then.

[ClaudiaComito]

ok then let's not.

[mtar]

I don't have any issues with that. These kind of PRs are not common and don't have any impact on the tests.

[ClaudiaComito]

Thanks @mtar , it looks good to me, I only have minor comments but as far as I'm concerned we can merge this.

[ClaudiaComito]

By the way, we probably need two different PRs, this one with base main and another one with base release/1.2.x.
Alternative: merge this PR into release/1.2.x and then release/... into main.

The base branch was changed.
