Description

We received the following update as a "permissions change" on the app:

I am assuming owners of this repo also own the app. (Apologies if this is incorrect)

```
The "release-please" GitHub app is scheduled for turndown August 14, 2025.
We recommend switching to an alternative method of running release-please: https://github.com/googleapis/release-please?tab=readme-ov-file#setting-up-release-please
```

Can we please have more lead time to migrate to the action? This is a pretty impactful change for us. Two weeks is pretty short lead time to just drop any service, even a free one.

It would be great if we could have some reasons as to why this is being done, also the comms via a permissions change request may be easily missed by many orgs, please push comms on this wider, a big warning on the readme may also help.

Thanks
