Proposal: "Noteworthy" label for Promo application updates

[Julian]

Hello everyone,
As you all are probably aware, KDE Promo writes monthly updates on what happens 
within our applications and also promotes the releases done by the Release Service (like 
Dolphin 20.04, Kate 20.04, Kontact, etc.). For these updates, we need to get all important 
new features and bug fixes that are present in the latest releases. 
Up until now, we have reached out to developers every time we wanted to compile such 
feature lists. This approach has several drawbacks:
- Projects occasionally forget to add their new features. This leaves us with the choice to 
either seek out all changes ourselves (which is very time consuming) or omit the 
application in the writeup (which is not good either)- Smaller projects might be left out 
because we do not know that they have released something cool- There is an inevitable 
waiting period between us asking for a feature list and the completion of the list. This can 
lead to delays in the announcement process and lowers the quality of the announcement 
(for example, because translators don't have the time to translate the text before it is 
made public) 
We would therefore like to propose a different approach.
 1. Get a standardized "Noteworthy" label added on Invent. 2. Whenever a noteworthy 
change is merged (that is, a cool new feature or an important bug fix), the reviewers add 
said label. 3. When Promo drafts release notes or other updates, we can filter for said label 
and instantly see all relevant changes. 
This ensures that no important contributions are overlooked and results in a much 
smoother workflow for Promo. We'd like to get feedback from developers on this proposal 
and if no major objections are raised, implement this workflow change as soon as code 
hosting is fully transitioned to GitLab.
Best regards,Julian / xyquadrat on behalf of KDE Promo 


P.S.: Please note that we still need your notes on changes for the 20.04 release, however.

bug fixes there.
