Description

Is there a configuration I can add to force the GitHub release title to be the tag name?

I have a workspace with multiple packages, and I keep a CHANGELOG.md for each package.
The headings withing each package's changelog look like: `## - `
So the list of my releases looks confusing as all show-up the same way (just a version number, which is different per package).

I could "fix" this by changing my changelog headings to e.g. `## pkg_name-v`
But it is really not ideal to clutter my changelog with the name of the package in every heading (and loose the date).

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the release-title generation and configuration handling, then trace how changelog headings are used; done means a supported configuration can make each GitHub release title exactly match its tag name without requiring changed changelog headings.
