Some proposal:

I have added a "---DRAFT---" string to the document title and all
toplevel headlines of the document, which can be dynamically 
enabled or disabled via some lines in conf.py.

The result can be seen at 
https://people.debian.org/~holgerw/release-notes-with-rudimental-draftmode/

I created a merge request for this [1].

I know that only rudimental, but maybe it's better than nothing, until we 
have a better solution???
