Automate assign the next Release Managers to do Hot patching practice
Currently Hot Patching practice is a task in the monthly Release issue, but it should be done by someone who is not currently a release manager (e.g. gitlab-org/release/tasks#7356 (closed)). During Delivery group weekly on 2023-11-28, we agreed that the next RMs should do this task, to avoid the situation that the current RMs have to ask for volunteering.
Since the list of RMs can be provided by the release gem, we can automate this assigning task.

New Release issues tag the next RMs in the Hot Patching session, to remind them to work on it. For example:
