Description

When something like https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-sharing/pull/2 pops up in my notifications it always takes me a few moments to figure out what a change does, why we need it and what I have to test or pay attention to.

I think we can do better than this. Maybe draw some inspiration from Dependabot.

Would the automation be able to derive that from the information in git?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the example pull request in the issue and comparing its available Git information with the context Dependabot provides. Determine what context should be derived and displayed for dispatched pull requests, then define a way to verify that the generated context explains the change, motivation, and testing considerations.
