[Pulp-dev] Using commits instead of PRs in Pulp 3 release notes

[Eric Helms]

On Katello and Foreman, we use a template and some code from a tool we use
to do release activities to generate a formatted changelog that provides
both sets of information (Redmine issue links and commit links) broken down
by categories, see example at [1].

I'd be happy to give more information on where and how we generate this if
desired.
