Description of your changes

This PR adds a maintainer-facing RELEASE.md, links it from CONTRIBUTING.md, and aligns the chart publishing workflow with the tagged release path so the documented behavior matches the actual release automation.

Fixes #536

I have:

  • Associated this change with a known KubeFleet Issue (Bug, Feature, etc).
  • Run make reviewable to ensure this PR is ready for review.

How has this code been tested

  • make reviewable
  • ruby -e 'require "yaml"; YAML.load_file(".github/workflows/chart.yml"); puts "chart.yml ok"'
  • Simulated the publish-github-pages metadata rewrite step on temporary copies of both Chart.yaml files to verify the workflow rewrites version and appVersion to the release values.

Special notes for your reviewer

  • This PR intentionally updates .github/workflows/chart.yml in addition to the docs so the release guide matches the tagged release behavior for both OCI charts and the gh-pages chart repository content.
  • The guide distinguishes between verifying the gh-pages branch content and verifying the public GitHub Pages Helm endpoint, which still depends on GitHub Pages being enabled for the repository.
