Description
VS Code provides extensions with a dedicated tab, in the extension's page, for changelogs, see following image.
It would be really nice, if rust-analyzer could make use of that feature. I don't know how difficult it is to take the same content, as is used at https://rust-analyzer.github.io/thisweek/2021/11/29/changelog-105.html, and also display it on the changelog tab, but it would be really nice to see the changes directly in VS Code, without the need to open a browser.

Research direction
Start with the existing changelog at https://rust-analyzer.github.io/thisweek/2021/11/29/changelog-105.html and the VS Code extension packaging or release entry points; the issue names no repository files or tests. Determine how that content could appear in the extension's dedicated changelog tab, then verify it is visible in VS Code without opening a browser.
