release: replace branch cut announce with release status (!1750) · Merge requests · Warren Gifford / about · GitLab

Warren Gifford requested to merge release/no-branch-cut-announce into main Oct 12, 2020

Created by: bobheadxi

Closes https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/13869 with a possible alternative:

Replaces "branch cut is happening soon" with a more general informational update on release blockers and open issues
Adds a step to post release status at release candidate time

Based on https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/pull/14625, at which point the release status command posts a message with a count of release blockers and open issues.
