Metadata

Closed unmerged after maintainers chose deletion over v7 compatibility; PR #6262 removed release-drafter in commit 1a127efa1.
Resolution: closed superseded
Reason: The proposed compatibility fix was superseded by merged PR #6262, which deleted the unused release-drafter workflow and configuration instead.

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).
