Consolidate slack messages for PMs in release post MR template

Derek Ferguson requested to merge rp-retro-slack-consolidations into master

Why is this change being made?

Some days during the release post cycle include multiple updates to all PMs in the #release-post channel. This resulted in either multiple pings for the entire PM team or a post without mentioning the PMs that many might miss. This is to consolidate reminders into single Slack messages that mention the PM team, so nothing is missed and they don't receive more mentions than necessary.

Relates to #13922 (comment 1109428139)
