I know what needs doing at specific points in the release:
when we get an email about shipit, we create the release and add the graphid and mark the shipit checkbox
when we get an email about channels/publish, we do the appropriate steps
when we get errors we investigate
But I'm missing some overview:
which releases to keep an eye on (we can look at the releases/ folder but this includes completed releases, which can be noisy when we have a lot of releases this week, and can include checking a lot of files)
evidently i didn't know about the release status command
we now have a new bugzilla query we need to add to, as well as remember about the trello board
I think it would be awesome to add a dashboard template for the overview. Whenever we rebuild a specific release's md file, either on an update or sync or create, we could also rebuild the dashboard page, and it would be as up to date as the rest of the release files. Then whoever is on releaseduty can keep an eye on this single page rather than polling a number of files/webpages.
This could also have a troubleshooting tips section (or point to a troubleshooting how to page) - how to do trickier manual operations, or what types of things go wrong and what types of fixes generally work.
We could also update the template with reminders of things that we currently have in the trello board.
