Automate posting project releases to aboutcode.org

[mjherzog]

We need to automate posting project releases to the News feed on aboutcode.org. Aboutcode.org is the primary website for information about any and all of our many projects so it would be a good place to post project releases so that a viewer can see consolidated information across projects. The idea is to create a News template that would be a requirement for any release. The information should be very simple with a simple title like "Project version x.y.z released" with links to the Releases page for each project. We already seem to have a basic template as with https://www.aboutcode.org/news/2021-12-17-scancode.io.html, but the posting process is manual.

@poju3185 We do not "assign" issues, so if none else chimes here stating they are actively working on it, you are welcome to go for it.

Please make sure to explain your approach here first and to report your progress here on a regular basis as comments.

Got it! Just that recently, I often encounter situations where, after I submit a PR, someone will make slight modifications to my PR and then submit another PR.

This would be a totally UNACCEPTABLE behavior in our projects, so no need to worry about this.
