Description

During today's security release, we identified a few issues with the current release post generator automation:

  1. When multiple releases are created at the same time, they are not merged into a single PR
  2. Static Builds are slow, and they aren't always needed for every build. We should split this into a seperate, non-required matrix.
  3. Security Release Posts are not properly formatted.

Research direction

Start by locating the release post generator automation and the build matrix it uses. Verify how simultaneous releases become pull requests, how Static Builds are scheduled, and how security release posts are formatted; done means the three listed behaviors work correctly.
