CI setup for nodejs.org release notes #35530
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Please describe the problem you are trying to solve.
Currently the blog post for new releases is a manual process as mentioned in https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/b15ed6515323ec6cae2bde78feabf805c2fbb6b1/doc/guides/releases.md#17-create-a-blog-post
Describe the solution you'd like
Please describe the desired behavior.
When a new GitHub Release is created:
- Trigger the job based off of https://github.com/proxy/docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/reference/events-that-trigger-workflows#release the
publishedorcreatedevent - Take content from the release. EX: https://github.com/nodejs/node/releases/tag/v12.19.0
- Create a PR to nodejs.org repo like Blog: v12.19.0 release post nodejs.org#3436
Alternate flow would include the release updated event to either update the existing PR or create a new PR if information is added.

Keep it manual, as this is a small activity

@codebytere and I were just talking about what we could do to automate the creation of the Release. One challenge we might find would be that the tag is generally pushed before the release is promoted and the assets / signatures are ready.

So I think maybe limiting to the
publishedrelease type would allow controlling thatcodebytere commentedon Oct 7, 2020
One potential avenue here is firing off the blog post job via
repository_dispatchhook and the new version when the assets are promoted as part of the release shell script - i'd be happy to throw together a quick prototype for that over on the website repo with a description of what the POST request would need to look like!nschonni commentedon Oct 7, 2020
Whatever works best for you, since it's currently your manual process :)
You might want to take a look at nodejs/docker-node#1337 on how docker-node will be sending the PR cross repo. The same bot token could probably be used here.

The creation of the GitHub release sounds like a good event since it's the last step of the releaser's job. Everything should be ready at that point
