Improve guidelines around the Package group async updates

João Pereira requested to merge jdrpereira-master-patch-14615 into master

Why is this change being made?

Improves guidelines around the Package group async updates. The proposed changes are intended to simplify the existing process:

  • Skip repetitive daily updates (when nothing has changed since the last one). These can be overwhelming for those that subscribed for updates. They also generate a long trail of comments, which are not pleasant when scrolling through the issue.

  • Prefer updates on issues rather than on the individual related merge requests. Daily updates can become a "recursive" problem for issues with many merge requests. Furthermore, for anyone interested in following the progress, it's much easier to have a single condensed updated on the issue rather than smaller updates spread across multiple merge requests.

  • Do weekly async updates on epics ~"workflow::In dev". This is useful to gather the progress across all related issues in a single place (example: gitlab-org&2313 (closed)).
