Move Release Evidence category from the Release stage to the Govern stage
This MR proposes that we move the Release Evidence category from the Release stage to the Govern stage. This idea was discussed as part Release Stage Category Review FY23Q4 (Product#5187 - closed).
Rationale
- Audience for release evidence is compliance and auditing officers rather than the usual Release Stage target personas of development or ops roles.
- Release Evidence is an input for compliance reports and other types of artifacts that aim to document the software development lifecycle.
- Govern is working on SBOM, which relies on Release Evidence, and other related topics so it makes sense for Govern to consider bringing in the category.
