According to role handbooks, the set up job should be the task of CI Lead. However, in CAPI v1.10-v1.11, it was assigned to CI Lead, but in v1.12, it was assigned back to Release Lead. We properly need to ask advice from maintainers to decide this one but I think it should be task of CI Lead.

| After CAPI v1.13.0, the .1 release will follow up to add support for Kubernetes 1.36.0 when it becomes available. After .1, we expect to do monthly patch releases (more details will be provided in the 1.14 release schedule). | |

Just thought since this release schedule we should use v before release versions for consistency.
