Code review comment for lp://staging/~pwlars/ubuntu-test-runlists/jenkins-smoketest-setup-mark-current

That job already exists, it's a parameterized job that gets used by anything that needs to trigger a pending->current transition, you just have to feed it the product, arch, etc.
It's not included in a template here right now, could add it if needs be, but it's not something that needs to get recreated for each release - it will work fine for any release.
