Update the FF Rollout Template
What does this MR do?
Update the feature flag issue template. We use this template when creating issues to roll-out/enable a feature flag (FF) during the development release cycle. During a recent production incident, we identified a few changes to the template to make it more clear with the expectations, especially around the production roll-out phase.
The changes include:
- Add more GitLab-specific projects to the list of test projects.
- Include the
chatops
commands for testing with those GitLab projects - Specifically say that production changes should be done in the
#production
slack channel - Cleanup some formatting and grouping of tasks in the checklist
