I'll publish the release on/after Aug 23 if everything looks good.

It might be beneficial to update the release with an overview of changes since last stable version and not preview as it currently is a bit vague:

Fair point, but we'd have to update all the past releases as well for consistency, since this is the way we'd been structuring the release notes for a quite a long time now (basically, the full changelog of the stable release is the changelog since the last pre-release AND all the release notes of all the previous pre-releases).

That's OK - But what about upcoming releases? Can we please start using a more end-user friendly way? Otherwise you have to go through every single preview that was done to understand what changed which adds a lot of cognitive load

[jtattermusch]

It is something we can consider, probably worth proposing a change to the https://github.com/grpc/grpc-dotnet/blob/master/doc/release_process.md docs.
