The deployment notes are something that the deployer of the train is responsible for week-to-week. The steps for generating and uploading these notes are on https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_deployment/Train_deploys#Update_deploy_notes
Ideally, we'd watch core for new branches and commits on wmf/* branches and update the deployment notes for those branches automagically.

As of 1.34.0-wmf.4 this is working! https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.34/wmf.4/Changelog was generated by jenkins with no manual steps other than cutting the branch.
What we already know: zuul doesn't trigger jobs for this:
[thcipriani@contint1001 ~]$ zuul enqueue --trigger gerrit --pipeline post --project mediawiki/core --change 576318,1

job: - name: train-deploy-notes branch: ^wmf/ files: - '^includes/DefaultSettings\.php$'
The files is a filter to only trigger the job when a modified file matches. Change https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/mediawiki/core/+/576318/ does not touch includes/DefaultSettings.php, the job filter thus discard itself, the scheduler has nothing to run and it end up not doing anything for the change.
I guess this task can be resolved again and we can follow up on T243330
