Event Timeline
Haven't heard back and this is not likely going to be done in this month. In any case there is a certain amount of advocacy that needs to happen which, I think is @greg's teams responsibility.
Sorry, what haven't you heard back on?
The real work here is in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Release_notes_automation
The ReleaseNotesBot by Tyler is used just for the weekly train release notes. Not the RELEASE-NOTES file.
There was a discussion we had where the RFC was mentioned and it was agreed that someone (I don't remember any individual being named) should push this -- making sure people wrote their comments in the specified format -- forward during the code review process.
I was also under the (apparently false) impression that Tyler's work could be adapted for this.
Perhaps you aren't the right person to manage this process, so my apologies.
