Please provide a brief explanation for this change:

This MR introduces the following changes

  • Align the handbook with the Release post MR template providing the location of the pre-created cover images.
  • Explains how to raise a request to create new images post 16.11.
  • Updates guidance on cover image licensing. For cover images generated by GitLab, the license info block is not necessary and can be removed.
