Release notes not made for latest releases #2239

Describe the bug

Release notes for each package are provided in a RELEASES.md file. These allow maintainers of dependent projects to easily understand the nature of a new release when evaluating a dependency bump. That information is especially useful in this "monorepo", since the usual alternative of using Git tags to obtain the changesets for a bump is not available to us.

New releases were made for several of the packages: #2233.

🐛 Release note entries were not made for those releases. This is inconvenient for the maintainers of the many dependent projects.

To Reproduce

  1. Determine the latest version of a package. For example, here we can see that the latest version of @actions/core is 2.0.2: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@actions/core
  2. Open the release notes for that package. In the example of @actions/core, they are here: https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/main/packages/core/RELEASES.md

🐛 There is no entry in the release notes for the latest release.

Expected behavior

The missing release note entries are added.

A formal release procedure is defined that specifies a release notes entry must be added prior to making a release.

Copilot's configuration is such that it will comply with that formal procedure when bumping package versions.
