Performance Lab plugins

As a consequence from the previous meeting and last week’s release (which for the first time saw releases for only a few of the performance plugins, without Performance Lab), changes to the release cadence were defined
Specifically, the team will change release cadence from monthly to on-demand (which could be more frequent or less frequent).
Consequently, the release procedure will be much more streamlined, avoiding the previously used “release party” format in favor of someone simply following the release handbook and sharing progress along the way.
Related to that, @westonruter has taken the separate release party chats handbook docs and moved the relevant example chats inline with the sections in the releasing the plugin handbook page. This eliminates the duplication of release instructions between the two resources.
@mukesh27 shared that PRs #1795 and #1818 are ready for review.

Our next chat will be held on Tuesday, April 8, 2025 at 15:00 UTC in the #core-performance channel in Slack.
