Changelog Stand-down

by @acolombiadev

Release notes rot because nobody owns the writing. Give this a repository and somewhere to send the result, and at the start of each week it goes through what actually landed and reports it back in readable form. The nagging is rather the point: it turns up whether or not you got around to the changelog yourself.
