Improve docs of the GitLab docs site release process
What does this MR do and why?
Move some docs release instructions from the gitlab-docs
project's own documentation to the issue template for this task. This MR is part of an ongoing effort to move all, or almost all, of the instructions for creating a GitLab docs release.
In this MR, the improvements/changes:
- Reference the "Create a stable branch..." instructions in the issue's description instead of the
releases.md
file. - Ensure the "Create a stable branch..." instructions in the issue's description match the previous content of the
releases.md
file. - Remove the "Create a stable branch..." section from the
releases.md
file. - Update the docs release readiness step to check all 4 projects instead of checking for the candidate commit announcement.
