Releases are created in the releases project so that all projects can be built at the same time.
When a pre-release is created in that project, it will create a pre-release in this project with the same version. Notes will be autogenerated off the commit changes.
That pre-release will trigger the 199-release-make-ci-upload-release-artifacts pipeline in this project. This will create the artifacts using make ci-upload-release-artifacts and then upload them to the pre-release created for this project.
When the pre-release in the releases project is approved by a maintainer and realeased, then this project will also get released.
