WIP: Add template for milestone work planning/tracking

Mike Lewis requested to merge new-tw-pm-template into master

What does this MR do?

Adds template for issue to help TWs and PMs collaborate each milestone, per group, for feature issues, docs-only issues, and release post work.

  • Sets relative dates that align with existing Product/Engineering calendars.
  • Helps with transparency and accountability.
  • Helps with consistency across groups.
  • Leaves flexibility for the details of how to collaborate: sync or async, with any level of Eng involvement in preparing or scheduling issues despite keeping PM as DRI, etc.
  • Helps ensure that doc work competes effectively for engineer time.
  • Ensures that stage or section level Product staff have visibility into the current doc priorities and can help manage conflicting priorities across groups, given the TW’s limited bandwidth.
