Release Post revisions to timing and What's New MR instructions

Brian Rhea requested to merge rp-timing-revisions into master

Why is this change being made?

This MR fixes a few todos that cause confusion for the release post manager:

  • The “Incorporate feedback” section is updated to reflect the amount of time allowed for executive review and feedback
  • "Creating the What's New MR" is given its own section
  • Timing expectations are added (15:00-19:00 UTC) into “What’s New” backend_maintainers message, so people in the right time zone can volunteer.
  • SaaS-only features need to use [free, premium, ultimate] in the "What's New" MR
