While creating the 2023.08.0 release (#330) I could test the fantastic release guide by @GenevieveBuckley and found it super useful. Basically everything worked as described (there was some trouble during the release but unrelated to the release notes).

I didn't find that any particular step could be much simpler, but I completely agree that there's potential for automatization as discussed in #331.

One little problem that I encountered was that after copying the release notes generated by generate_release_notes.py to HISTORY.rst and creating a release (candidate), twine complained about invalid restructured text. It turned out to be a too short title underline #334.

So in this PR I'm

  1. adding minor changes to the release guide and
  2. modifying the relevant part of generate_release_notes.py to produce rst compatible title underlines.

Of course, this might not be very important or at least very transitory in the light of migrating to a more automated release process.

Thank you for the update while it's all still fresh in your mind.

And yes, absolutely this can be transitory and be replaced by your suggestion very soon. But it's still valuable to have this, and I appreciate you doing it.
