Automatic change log generation is great, it's always a pain to do this. Hopefully the actions API makes it easy to output notes with better organization, like grouping conventional commits.

One more thing I'd love is a timeline entry/comment on relevant issues/pull requests to say that it was included in a specific release. I know we can do this via actions, but there's so many maintainers and consumers of smaller open source repos that would benefit.

You can use a `.github/release.yml` to organize sections based on labels.

I talked with one of the maintainers of conventional commits and we discussed writing an action to auto-label PRs based on conventional commits as a way to make a bridge between the two ways of working.
