When a new version is published, automatically find issues referenced in the release notes (e.g. via Fixes #123 or PR cross-references) and post a comment like:
🚀 This has been shipped in v3.1.0! (Release notes)
This would give issue authors and followers immediate visibility that their request/bug fix has been released, without needing to manually follow up.
Considerations
- Parse issue references from the generated release notes or from merged PR bodies
- Only comment on issues that are closed/resolved (avoid noise on open issues)
- Make this opt-in via an input (e.g.
comment_on_linked_issues: true)
- Include a link to the release
