Remove redundant deprecations reminder

Brian Rhea requested to merge when-no-deps into master

Why is this change being made?

From the 15.5 release post retro:

The task says:

If there are no deprecation announcements for this milestone, do a search to see if there are any open or merged MRs for the current milestone.

What are you supposed to do if you find anything matching the search? It seems like there would be different actions based on if the MRs were already merged or not.

This task is redundant and can be removed from the release post manager's responsibilities. PMs are aware of the deprecation and removal process as part of their workflow and we should allow them to hold themselves accountable for adding deprecations to Docs.
