Description

Describe the issue:

Our partners are experimenting renovate in other repos to bump dependencies, which heavility relies on Github Releases to be able to provide changelog of new version that was released.

We stopped creating github releases around Sept 30, 2021 (I dont know why - reasoning TBA), thus renovate bot is not providing those.

🚨 Example PR with missing "changelog" in PR description:

https://github.com/microsoft/cloudpack/pull/244

✅ Example of PR with "changelog":

https://github.com/microsoft/cloudpack/pull/234

Direct partner feedback:

Without having those release notes, they have hard time judging the fluent bump - what is changing? What should they test? how can they review the changes?

It would be great to have the change notes always in the renovate PRs.

Actual behavior:

No Github Releases

Expected behavior:

Github releases work with synced changelog

Workaround

Thankfully, one can click on the actual change and see changelog generated with our release

  1. click on the new version

  2. changelog

Research direction

Start by reviewing the GitHub Releases history for Fluent UI around September 30, 2021, then trace the repository's release process that should publish v8 and v9 releases. Confirm how Renovate consumes those releases and verify that completed releases include synchronized changelogs and appear in Renovate PR descriptions.
