How to modify an already merged operator?

[benjaminjb]

What is the protocol for updating an already merged operator bundle?

After we merged this PR, we discovered a problem with the OperatorHub installer for OCP v4.8.

(For the curious, it's a problem that this PR addresses: operator-framework/operator-registry@8720e3d -- our bundle is too big and v4.8 has no gzip option.)

Now we want to update all our 5.3.0 bundles so that the minimum OCP is 4.9. How do we go about updating this already merged operator bundle? Is there a set protocol that we can do or do we require different permissions to, say, delete the operator 5.3.0 bundle and re-add it with the appropriate changes?

(Duplicate of redhat-openshift-ecosystem/certified-operators#1702 since this affects both repos, in case there's a solution that covers both.)

Working with someone over on certified-operators on this currently; this might be too costly to fix at the moment, but leaving open to think about.

Closing this as answered elsewhere; for now we are leaving this as is.
