So it's been about a week and from the PR activity I've seen, folks seem to have adopted the new PR template and release note process just fine.

Of course, folks chime in here if I've missed anything.

That said, I'd like to offer a suggestion:

If folks add kind label(s) to their PR that categories the nature of the change (feature, bug, api-change, etc.), then the updates to the release github action I'm working on can look for those labels to facilitate the sorting of the release notes.

I'll see if there is a way to enforce this use of a kind label on PRs, though I'm not confident,

Turns out I should have had more confidence. Prow provides exactly what we need to enforce the use of kind labels of PRs: https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/blob/master/label_sync/labels.md#needs-kind

I'll give it a day or two, but unless there are objections noted here or in slack (I'll be posting there momentarily) I will be enabling this plugin for shipwright-io/build

and if there is not a direct "Fixes ..." correlation made to a github issue that might be relevant (though event that could be a stretch), I think we might still have some manual categorization of release notes required when we cut a new release.
