+1 since we want to release often, it's better to have a lot of things
automated.
Additional proposition: automate the blog post and the twitter message that
announce the release.

Hi,
I’d like to modify the Release Notes app to autogenerate summaries for
releases.
The idea is to auto generate it based on the headings for user , admins
and devs
headers.
For ex, taking the 10.2 release notes it would give:
"For users: New default Color Theme, Figure Macro, Rename/Move
protection and
Minor changes do not generate notifications anymore. For
admins: Default Notifications. For Developers: REST API now supports the
use of minor revision for page changes, Translation fallback and Jobs
improvements.”
To give a comparions this is how we manually summarised it:
"This release has a fresh look thanks to its new default color theme. A
new Figure macro is available for content creators to add illustrations
along with optional captions. Renaming and moving standard pages is now
discouraged with a warning message that should prevent editors from
breaking XWiki.”
Ofc, the manual summary is nicer but I think the automated one could be
enough for the user to know the topics and then check the release notes to
understand better what’s in it.
Context: This is an effort to automate further our release process and to
win some more minutes.
Thanks

It's not too bad IMO.
WDYT?
Thanks
