Hotfix on a release

Hey, trying to set up release please for a monorepo. One issue i cant seem to find any good info about is how to deal with hotfixes.

For example:

• Push feature to main
• Release-please pr is merged and release created.
• additional features are added to main
• bug is reported on initial release

Now an hotfix needs to be done on the initial release, how do I best go about this?

Without release-please i would branch out from release tag, do fix, release patch and then merge into main. But this seems to trigger another release when the merge to main happens.

Thanks in advance for any help!
