Consider using the new github release notes

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We current use the docker container ferrarimarco/github-changelog-generator to generate our release notes. It queries the github API for closed issues / merged PRs in the current milestone and generates our CHANGELOG which we use as the basis for the release notes in github as well as the blog post (e.g. 1.18.0-rc).

Github recently announced that they have a new tool to help generate release notes: https://github.blog/2021-10-04-beta-github-releases-improving-release-experience/

We should investigate their solution and see how it would work for our project.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Keep our current release note generator. One downside of the current process is that the generator sends a large number of requests to the github API, which can fail if you hit throttling / rate limiting while running the tool. It also reviews the entire history of closed issues / merged PRs, which makes it more likely to hit these failures the longer our project exists.
