This was a discussion point at the WriteTheDocs conference this year, and lots of teams were managing multiple release docs: changelog (mostly automated and granular), then release notes for notifying customers, followed by feature specific announcement blogs, which get condensed to the notification feature in the app itself.

One of the things that stood out was the need for the docs teams to have visibility and early notice about what is going into a release. Some teams mentioned using slack emojis for markers to help review what is proposed for promotion for eg. another was the buy-in to treat these various docs as strict release requirements (will you be willing to block a release because the docs aren’t ready?)

Lots of LLM-driven tooling attempts, but the Ghostty one is the only one I remember reading publicly.
