Update documentation MR template

Marcel Amirault requested to merge docs-MR-template into master

What does this MR do?

I have been seeing a fair amount of MRs that are not following standards, and have even been skipping technical writer review without a valid reason. I think updating the Doc MR template may help reduce how often this happens. It will also hopefully help us out if the MR creator always applies the devops and group labels too, so we don't have to work so hard to figure it out ourselves.

Author's checklist

Review checklist

All reviewers can help ensure accuracy, clarity, completeness, and adherence to the Documentation Guidelines and Style Guide.

1. Primary Reviewer

  • Review by a code reviewer or other selected colleague to confirm accuracy, clarity, and completeness. This can be skipped for minor fixes without substantive content changes.

2. Technical Writer

  • Optional: Technical writer review. If not requested for this MR, must be scheduled post-merge. To request for this MR, assign the writer listed for the applicable DevOps stage.

3. Maintainer

  1. Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  2. Ensure a release milestone is set.
  3. If there has not been a technical writer review, create an issue for one using the Doc Review template.
