Description

Edit: we should probably consider https://changelogd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ instead of maintaining our own tool

Doof has code that currently generates release notes based on a diff of changes since the last version. We should extract this into a tool that can be run on the CLI and output to stdout.

Research direction

Start by locating Doof’s existing release-notes generation code and understanding how it computes changes since the last version. Decide whether the standalone CLI should be implemented or changelogd used, then verify that the chosen tool can run from the command line and write the generated notes to stdout.
