Release status reported.

What version of releasetool are you using? In the googleapis/gaxios repo, it does not appear you are installing releasetool during the release process and it is baked into the image. Also, that repository is releasing from node 14 which is likely a very old image.

Also, this appears to be a random 500 server error, not any authentication or invalid request issue. Is this happening across several builds?

You're right, I thought it might have something to do with the recent releasetool release, but it seems like the Docker image gaxios is using to publish has the releasetool version pinned at 1.8.6 which is pre Node-18. I'll just take this as a transient error and look out for any other similar errors. Thanks!
