[I] Release notes don't call out breaking changes, no summary, fix/feat distinction muddled [arrow]
corneliusroemer opened a new issue, #50655:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/50655
### Describe the enhancement requested
It seems that the release notes don't call out breaking changes at all - were there really none for v25.0.0? That'd be surprising given it's a major version.
See https://arrow.apache.org/release/25.0.0.html
In addition, the current distinction of commits into a) Fixes and b) Features seems muddled in practice.
Examples of things classified as features but sounds like fix/chore (semver minor)
- Avoid int64 overflow in CheckReadRangeOrThrow (#50060l)
- Enable auto GitHub Copilot review (#50630
At least for major versions it would be nice to have a summary of the major changes (major features, breaking changes).

Major versions of Arrow are released quarterly and don't necessarily include breaking changes.
> I just noticed that there are curated release notes for v25, just that they are not linked at all in neither the machine generated release notes themselves nor in the GitHub release.
We include the changelog in the [ML announcement](https://lists.apache.org/thread/qgopjsr8h5tvqjdg169zsx0wg26c8otf) however given this discussion they might be hard to discover. Could you propose where else could we link these so they'd be easier to find?

I just noticed that there _are_ curated release notes for v25, just that they are not linked at all in neither the machine generated release notes themselves nor in the GitHub release.
Curated release notes: https://arrow.apache.org/blog/2026/07/10/25.0.0-release/
It would be good to link to the summary from the generated ones linked above.
