Description

This commit resulted in release notes that stated that the release closed the linked issue, when really it was just intended as reference. Have we considered doing keyword-matching on the preceding word like GitHub does in issue text?

Research direction

Start by comparing commit c10a29448de701fece6efeac3d82d577d1683701 with the v3.6.0 release notes to reproduce the incorrect issue closure. Then inspect the release-note generation and keyword handling described by the issue. Done means references without an issue-closing keyword no longer claim to close the linked issue, with matching behavior aligned with GitHub's rules.
