ci: drop release-drafter workflow
Metadata
Current evaluation
Merged PR removing the unused release-drafter CI workflow. The automation was redundant as release notes are already generated by the release-publish workflow and maintained in per-repository changelogs. Approved by two reviewers and passed CI checks.
Suggested action: —
No scores available.
Issue body
Our release-publish workflow adds the release notes (the list of commits and contributors) to each new release, and all of our libraries and applications have their own in-repo changelog/release notes. Ultimately, the content produced by this workflow was never getting used.
