Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We need to track all the issues to be included in a given release and their status. It would be good to do that systematically.
Describe the solution you'd like
We should add a release issue template with instructions on how to create a release task list of issues.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Project Boards
We've tried tracking issues on the project boards but the task lists seem to be helpful and we can still use the task board for larger scale planning.
Milestones
Milestones allow you to assign a date to a task which is helpful for releases, but they don't have a way to mark things off as you go. You can include markdown, but the checkboxes can't be checked off when rendered. There is also no way to comment on them. We can just link the release issue to the milestone by attaching it to its corresponding milestone.

Proposed Plan of Action
[x] Create a "release" issue template.
[ ] Add an issue in the IDS repo to document the release process and the release issue template usage on the IDS docs site.
