Issue body
Update the `release-drafter.yaml` workflow to work with version 7 and newer.
Looks like this got bumped without addressing the breaking changes. I just fixed this in our Sphinx extension repos, so I figured I'd propose it here. You can see this run successfully in [the extension template](https://github.com/canonical/sphinx-ext-template/actions/runs/26241986582/job/77230478577).
