This moves the commit step to the start of the process and releases after merging it. This has two key benefits: 1. The commit history now reflects the actual release (ex. any DevTools commits before the release commit are actually included in that release). Previously the changes in a release were dictated by the release PR branch, which is an ephemeral target. Other PRs may be merged to `main` before the release PR, and those changes would not be included in that DevTools release. 2. We can now compute a changelog based on this more accurate history. The downside to this change is that release PRs are now blocking releases in a way they weren't before (which is likely desirable in the grand scheme of things), meaning we need to be more diligent about merging them in a timely manner. I added a short script for listing DevTools commits since the last release, taking advantage of the more accurate commit history. This should make changelog generation a lot easier, even if there's still a manual process of rewriting the commit message into a line item in release notes. Also made a few minor cleanup changes such as escaping the markdown in the suggested reviewer note so it can be more easily copy-pasted from the rendered format of this doc. PR Close #60646
