Notify in f_upcoming_release when a security-prepare pipeline is triggered
Problem
In &1025 (closed) we are automating several tasks in the security release task issue with a pipeline.
The pipeline sends several slack notifications to #f_upcoming_release
as it completes it's various jobs. The problem is, the pipeline is not triggered in slack, so these notifications start appearing without any clear indication that a release manager has taken an action. So while the release manager that triggered them knows what happened, others browsing the slack history may not know where they are coming from or why.
Solution
Add an initial job to the security-prepare
pipeline that sends a slack notification to #f_upcoming_release
notifying:
Release manager <name> has started a security release, initial steps will now be run in <security-prepare pipeline link>.
