Closes #1333
Closes #1284

This PR updates the release issue template to include steps for ensuring secrets are up to date when releasing / deploying the Benefits app.

To simplify the flow of steps, we split the checklist out into two checklists, one for each type of release (Regular and Hotfix).

This PR also updates documentation on "Making a release" to reflect our hotfix checklist.

@thekaveman @machikoyasuda Can you read over this and tell me if this list makes sense to you?

You're right, this is harder than I expected!

I think the "staging target" thing is needlessly confusing and we can assume by the time we're releasing, dev has already been squared away / secrets configured / QA'd etc.

Also, I think in #1284 we decided that the steps for hotfix are different enough that they warrant docs of their own; so...

Suggestions:

  • Reformat into 2 lists: one for regular, one for hotfix
  • Make the first step in regular something like "Ensure the dev branch and secrets are up to date", then bump the version etc. (i.e. we don't need individual steps for updating/refreshing dev secrets)
  • Remove all the "if applicable" language

This feels overly complicated because we're trying to represent 2 flows in 1 list.

Looks good. I don't think we need this extra step/check-box but not a deal breaker.
