Makes a few changes to the gutenberg release docs and issue:

  • Clarifies how to request visual assets - the idea being to reduce the need to involve a designer:
    • Use the existing image in the media library for the featured image
    • Use the 'Gutenberg What's New' synced pattern for the main banner
    • Only request assets from design for high profile features (e.g. not sure if we need to clarify what a high profile feature is)
  • Adds a section about requesting a volunteer for the next release at the end of the process - the idea being to make the release process more self-managing rather than needing someone to have oversight of find volunteers.

Something I wasn't able to do is update the google doc here - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D-MTOCmL9eMlP9TDTXqlzuKVOg_ghCPm9_whHFViqMk/edit?tab=t.0

I don't have access. I left suggestions though.
