Description

This is the tracking issue for writing the Go 1.28 Release Notes. The version at tip can be viewed at https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.28.

When we have a fairly complete release notes draft, enough for the needs of Go 1.28 RC 1, we should add okay-after-rc1 label here. The release-blocker label can be removed once everything else is done, including resolving all known items and those caught by `relnote todo`.

The draft notice stays until it's removed on the day of the release. At that time this issue is closed, and a similar issue is made for the next release. (The previous issue was #78779.)

Research direction

Start with the Go 1.28 release notes draft at https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.28 and review the tracking issue's requirements for RC 1 and the final release. Run or review `relnote todo` to identify known missing items. Done means the draft is sufficiently complete for RC 1, all known items are resolved, and the release notice can be removed when Go 1.28 ships.
