Description

There would be a command, something like @doof release email 1/1/2019. Doof would find all PRs closed from that date until now. Doof would look up issues which are related to the PRs and show these issue titles. PRs that are "fixed by" or "closed by" related issues which github may have information which links to the issue available in github's API.

For this issue we should just do the calculation and print the email to the channel. A later issue will offer a button where the user can send the email to a predefined email list.

Research direction

Start by locating the @doof release email command and the code that handles GitHub API lookups and chat output. Define the date range from the command, find closed PRs and their related issues, and print the issue titles in the channel; completion should match the requested release-note behavior without adding email sending.
