Research direction

Start with the linked “Using a Custom Announcement Template” documentation and the handling of Jira releases in the Maven Changes Plugin. Verify how a Jira release description is exposed to the ${release.description} template variable, and consider the issue complete when that variable is populated for releases with descriptions.

Using a Custom Announcement Template states that ${release.description} can be used in templates. This does not work with Jira where the release has a description set.
