Description

## Request

Please transfer notifications for the **Scheduled Release** workflow (`.github/workflows/scheduled-release.yml`) from my account, `maxnystrom`, to a current maintainer. I would like to stop receiving these notifications while keeping my other GitHub Actions notifications enabled.

## Why this is happening

I changed the workflow's cron schedule in [commit e31b55c](https://github.com/cloudflare/cfssl_trust/commit/e31b55c3965eb5db3c85c570f0c706d2230c08e8) on March 8, 2023. GitHub associates scheduled-workflow notifications with the user who last changed the cron schedule, unless another user subsequently disables and re-enables the workflow.

For example, [Scheduled Release run #286](https://github.com/cloudflare/cfssl_trust/actions/runs/34009015123) ran automatically on September 6, 2026, but lists `maxnystrom` as both its actor and triggering actor. It failed at the **Create pull request** step and I received a notification.

## Proposed fix

A current maintainer with the necessary permissions should, using **their own GitHub account**:

1. Open **Actions → Scheduled Release** in this repository.
2. Disable the workflow, then promptly re-enable it so scheduled releases continue.

GitHub documents that notifications for a scheduled workflow that is disabled and re-enabled go to the user who re-enabled it, rather than the user who last modified its cron syntax. This transfers notifications without requiring a schedule change.

Alternatively, a current maintainer can update the cron schedule; subsequent notifications will go to that user. A schedule change is not necessary if the disable/re-enable approach is used.

Reference: [GitHub — Notifications for workflow runs](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/concepts/workflows-and-actions/notifications-for-workflow-runs).

Please confirm once the notification handoff is complete. This request concerns notification routing; the pull-request creation failure may need separate investigation.

Research direction

Review .github/workflows/scheduled-release.yml and the repository's Actions → Scheduled Release page. A current maintainer should perform the notification handoff with their own account while keeping scheduled releases enabled, then confirm that notifications no longer route to maxnystrom.
