Description

### Overview
We need to track existing issues and make new issues to deliver Toolkit page complete enough for the Homepage launch

#### Details
We need to track and support the final wrap up items for the homepage launch, so that it can be completed.

### Action Items
- [x] List all the issues related to the label
- [x] Identify what open issues have to be resolved before launch, by classifying the issues into the following categories using MoSCoW method in a comment.
- Must Have
- Should Have
- Could Have
- Won't Have this time
- [x] Add the following details under each issue
```
- why: [ADD WHY ITS IMPORTANT TO TO THE LAUNCH]
- status: [ADD STATUS e.g., Icebox, Emergent Requests, New Issue Approval, ERs and epics that are ready to be turned into issues, Prioritized Backlog, In Progress (actively working), Questions / In Review]
- draft: [true OR false]

- role: [ADD ROLE e.g. data scientist, infrastructure, design, design lead, user research, Research Lead, dev leads, data analyst, BA, hfla leadership, back end/devOps, writing, front end, merge team, technical writer]
```
- [x] Once you receive sign-off from Staff PM add to `## Relevance of the issues to the Homepage launch`
- [x] Review comments with `Notes carried forward from epic` if it exists, and make sure all previous items are addressed in the top of the issue.
- If it specifies new issues to make then add explicit action items for making those issue in a new comment on this issue
- get sign-off on those new issues to make by Staff PM
- [x] Identify items that need issues opened by looking at the page and features and seeing what is not already addressed by the existing issues or new issues to make list.
- [ ] Make the issues specified
- [ ] Link them as sub issues to this issue
- [ ] Classify them using MoSCoW and add the details (why, status, draft, responsible, role)
- [ ] Get Sign-off and prioritization of the issues by Staff PM
