A POSSIBLE BUILD DIRECTION
Outcode’s editorial suggestions for this idea. Adapt the scope to your skills, available data and the people you want to help.
Import merged pull requests from one public repository, group them into features and fixes, and let a maintainer edit a customer-facing draft before publishing.
Compare the draft with a changelog written by the maintainer. Check that each claim links to a real change and that internal or sensitive notes stay out. Keep human review before publication.
For a larger project, add release boundaries, duplicate detection and an evaluation set of correctly classified changes. Measure editing effort against a manual baseline.
