Process to release revenue impacting changes

Chris Baus requested to merge revenue-impacting-changes into master

Why is this change being made?

Although we try to work by our core values, including iteration, some larger projects we've released over the past year, specifically those which impact revenue, have required more scrutiny by other organizations than is common with other GitLab engineering projects, and this likely to continue going forward.

I'm not sure what the process should be to release revenue impacting changes, but I'd like to have that conversation and document it rather than being implemented in an ad-hoc fashion.
