CHANGELOG protocol

[ala-mode]

We should have an agreed upon way to produce a changelog for releases.

Personally, I like the idea of leveraging GitHub Issues, which can generate changelogs based on closed PRs. This way, a well named PR (when it is closed-as-completed) can simply be included in the changelog.

One thing I have my eye on is release-drafter - a GitHub Action that automatically drafts release notes based on commits and pull requests. It can be configured to include specific labels, milestones, and other metadata, which could be useful in tracking work in relation to organizational goals.

When we agree on the method, I can include it in the CONTRIBUTING.md file.
