Release Tracker feature
I would love a “release tracker” of sorts. This would allow project owners to define their release cycle and will automagically update to show to contributors which stage of the release cycle they are in based on specific MRs that have been merged (or purely temporal).
At GitLab, we currently use Slack in order to keep all contributors in sync with the current state of a release, I would love this to be transparent to all contributors and would love other projects to adopt a transparent and well-defined release cycle.
It’s a little like cycle analytics, except instead of having info for how a cycle is currently performing, you would be defining how you want your release to behave/perform.
This is obviously a really tricky feature as there are so many types of release cycle.
