ci: remove release-drafter workflow
Metadata
Current evaluation
Merged PR #1239 (commit 2ea803a2) deleted the redundant release-drafter workflow (-41 lines, 2 files) because the publish workflow already generates release notes. Approved by 2 reviewers; only unrelated source-spread-tests failed.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: The PR itself was merged into main as commit 2ea803a2 'ci: remove release-drafter workflow (#1239)' by maintainer lengau, removing .github/workflows/release-drafter.yml since the publish workflow overwrote its output. No follow-up issue was needed.

Issue body
Our publish workflow overwrites what gets added by this workflow anyway, so it's not really doing anything for us.
