Tagging for review:

  • @adamsitnik — Process APIs section (assignee/merger on both #124264 and #124256)
  • @stephentoub — System.Text.Json section (assignee/coauthor/merger on #123940)
  • @iremyux — Tar archive section (assignee/merger on #123407)
  • @kasperk81 — Tar archive section (community author of #123407)

This PR deletes the libraries-release-notes skill, in favor of #10282 adding a general-purpose release-notes skill. That skill was loaded locally and used to generate the updated release notes here.

- Add reviewer suggestion step (Step 5) that gathers PR authors, assignees,
  mergers, and coauthors to suggest release notes reviewers grouped by area
- Add feature grouping guidance to categorize related PRs under single sections
- Add positive tone guidelines to editorial rules
- Add issue/PR reference format rules: {org}/{repo}#{number} with markdown links
- Add copilot-instructions.md entry so future sessions discover the skill
- Update data collection and enrichment steps to populate reviewers table
- Exclude bots and Copilot from all reviewer suggestions including coauthors

Given the volume of PRs in runtime repo, manually calling out API changes will generate a lot of noise and redundant mentions. dotnet/docs already has automation to track new API surface, so this likely isn’t needed.

Thanks, @kasperk81; that makes sense. I've tuned the skill instructions such that it won't call out all API changes, but it will highlight high-value feature additions delivered through new APIs--like your TarFile contribution. I appreciate you reviewing this too.

Author release notes for .NET Libraries in .NET 11 Preview 2 covering
the 2026-01-26..2026-02-11 date range. Includes:

- Generic GetTypeInfo<T> for System.Text.Json
- Tar archive format selection
- Matrix4x4.GetDeterminant ~15% faster
- Bug fix summary across 9 areas
- Community contributors section

Process APIs (ProcessExitStatus, PosixSignal.SIGKILL) excluded per
instructions as the feature is incomplete.

Standardize the 'partial features' concept from team-aspnetcore.md into
the common editorial rules with concrete detection heuristics:

1. No meaningful code sample possible
2. PR says 'Contributes to' rather than 'Fixes'
3. New type/enum with no producer or consumer in the release
4. Parent issue still open with broader scope
5. Release notes text references 'upcoming' APIs

Motivated by PR feedback on #10267 where PosixSignal.SIGKILL
was called out as useless in Preview 2 because the consumer API
(SafeChildProcessHandle.SendSignal) hadn't shipped yet.

Also adds a building block check to the categorization step so these
are caught before authoring begins.

Update the Libraries Preview 2 release notes bug fixes section to use
nested sub-bullets grouped by area, matching the revised formatting
guidelines. Multi-fix areas (System.Net.Http, System.Numerics) are now
consolidated under their area heading, and single-fix areas also use
sub-bullets for consistency.
