Resolve timing contradiction regarding handoff to social team

Brian Rhea requested to merge remove-important-notes-rp-mr-template into master

Why is this change being made?

Addresses #13659 (comment 1035575135)

The ordering of tasks in different sections conflict. One says to do handoff to social & then post in Slack channels while the other says to post in slack channels to get feedback before handoff to social.

This conflict can by resolved and further simplified by removing the "Important notes" section altogether and adding the guidance to keep an eye on the post after merge in its own section.

Everything else in "Important notes" is a either a repetition of information from a previous task that the release post manager will have already been aware of, or isn't required to complete the process.
