We’ve been using charmixer/auto-changelog-action to generate release notes. This action makes nice references to GitHub pull requests. The release notes are attached to a GitHub release by an action. This turns out to be an invaluable reference for SQA and Product Manager for testing and creating customer-facing release notes.

One downside is that we run into trouble with GitHub API rate-limiting.

I don't see it documented in that action, but from the Dockerfile this appears to be wrapping github-changelog-generator [1].

You're right; it's just packaging github-changelog-generator. Thanks for pointing that out.
