GitLab MR bump reviewer with changelog summary
On a GitLab merge request that bumps dependencies, fetches the upstream changelog for each bumped package, summarizes the breaking changes.

What it does
For a GitLab merge request that changes a lockfile, it identifies each bumped package and its version range, fetches the upstream changelog or release notes for that range, and produces a concise summary of breaking changes and migration notes. It then assigns reviewers drawn from the services that import the affected packages, so the people approving the bump actually understand what changed.
When to use it
Use it on GitLab when dependency MRs get rubber-stamped because nobody reads upstream changelogs. It surfaces the breaking-change context inline and routes the review to the engineers who own the affected code.
How it works
- 1A merge request is opened or updated on GitLab.
- 2The lockfile diff is parsed for bumped packages and version ranges.
- 3For each package, the upstream changelog for the version range is fetched.
- 4A summary of breaking changes and migration steps is generated.
- 5Reviewers are assigned from the importing services' owners on GitLab.
- 6The summary is posted as an MR note alongside the assigned reviewers.
