Idea: Comment on linked issues when a release ships #90

@joshjohanning

Description

@joshjohanning

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
