dev/release: improve automation for ensuring followup
Created by: bobheadxi
Aims to improve some processes and automation around release follow-ups - low-hanging fruit stuff from the WIP RFC 451
- Update patch request template to be clearer about actions for release captains, including documenting follow-ups.
-
yarn release tracking:issues
: Automatically close out old release tracking issues if subsequent ones are created after leaving a comment linking to the new release. We often have leftover tracking issues, especially for managed instances. -
yarn release release:finalize
: Add outstanding patch request issues to comment for potential follow-up -
yarn release release:finalize
: Add link to generated comment for visibility (post-release steps often get skipped)
