Description

In RC period we have 3 active branches:
- main
- rc (currently 14.0.x)
- patch (currently 13.3.x)

During the patch release (13.3.x), the release notes are added to the patch branch (via an auto-generated PR) and later on, the release script also creates a release notes PR for the main branch. However, there is no automated PR created against the RC branch. It'd be great to have an auto-generated PR against the RC branch as well.

Research direction

Start by tracing the release script and the auto-generated release-notes PR flow for the patch and main branches. Confirm how the RC branch is selected during a patch release, then verify that a corresponding release-notes PR is automatically created against the RC branch alongside the existing PRs.
