Node.js 24 Release Plan

[RafaelGSS]

Hey folks,

According to our schedule, we must release Node.js 24 on April 22. The cut-off date is March 22. @juanarbol volunteered to prepare and promote this release with me (I'll be traveling April 21, so Juan will likely promote it)

• Create a release branch (v24.x-staging, v24.x) ----- @RafaelGSS
• Create v24.x labels ----- @juanarbol
• Create a release proposal ---- @RafaelGSS
• Generate release candidates
• Create CHANGELOG for v24 (review it with @nodejs/tsc)
• Create a Node.js blog post for v24 (if we have meaningful changes)
• Create expected assets for v24

There was some discussion of figuring out an improved way to work with the Foundation in terms of blog posts for major releases. Just wondering if there has been any discussion/planning on this front?

Note that I commented on nodejs/node#57057 about the V8 situation.

@mhdawson Once the release proposal is ready, I plan to create a blog post based on CHANGELOG and open it a few weeks in advance on nodejs.org (or even nodejs.org-private). What do you think?

@mhdawson having it open a few weeks in advance with all collaborators having time to review/help will be good.

Do you know if the Foundation staff plan on putting out an additional blog post as well. If so asking that it be available for comment in advance (at least to the TSC) would be good as well.
