Subject: [PATCH] ci: remove the newsletter jobs

The Mailchimp account behind MAILCHIMP_API_KEY is deactivated, so
"Draft newsletter" has failed with "403 User Disabled" on every release
since v1.3.3, and marks otherwise successful release runs as failed.
"Send newsletter" and the Slack approval notification only run after
the draft, so they go too.
