   > -0 IMHO, doing this for ASF project is wrong as:
   > 
   > * issues and release notes are in JIRA, JIRA is source of truth
   > * release drafter just adds another MANUAL step in already overly manual release process
   > * unsure about the quality of release notes (see Plexus containers 2.1.1 release notes done by drafter: contains TWO items, while things like QDox are not even mentioned)
   
   please provide a link as I'm not quite sure what are you talking about with plexus-containers? If you mean https://github.com/codehaus-plexus/plexus-containers. As far I can release-drafter is not used.
   By the way release-drafter generate changelog entries only from PRs merge after the last release of a repository.
   So it means:
   - if no manual release has been created with the last tag before using release-drafter the content can be confusing
   - changelog entries are generated only from PRs. So if nothing is generated for direct push to `master` branch, I guess if people push directly to `master` it probably means people thinks it's not important enough to reviewed or to be checked by some CI builds.
   
   I just wanted to improve user experience as when looking at https://maven.apache.org/doxia/ it's not really obvious to find some changelog content for a user. 
   Anyway I'm closing it.
