Hi, I'd like to work on this.

@jaydee029 great! The workflow in question that we need to replace is in the .github directory linked here. If you find a similar workflow that appears to be well-maintained and kept up to date, please submit a pull request with your recommendation.

Otherwise you can write a script that uses the GitHub CLI (gh), which is available on all GitHub Actions runners. I believe this has commands which will let us draft releases.

Hey @adambkaplan this does not seem to be relevant anymore

It's still relevant - the referenced workflow is read-only: https://github.com/actions/create-release
