Description

We are currently creating GitHub releases manually, which is a tedious and repetitive task.

We can use the generated changelog by the changeset tool. Also, use features from GitHub-generated changelogs, like New Contributors, and include contributors. Also include a badge in the NuGet org-released version.
Example of manually created release: https://github.com/solarwinds/net-changesets/releases/tag/0.1.2

Push NuGet also to GitHub Packages as an alternative to NuGet.org.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing release process and the changeset tool's generated changelog, using the manually created 0.1.2 release as the reference. Define the release output as a GitHub release with changelog and contributor information, plus publication of the NuGet package to GitHub Packages with the requested badge and NuGet.org release remaining available.
