Description

What would you like Renovate to be able to do?

When more than one version is being updated, support the option to combine semantic release notes.

Did you already have any implementation ideas?

Can only work for known, semantic changelog formats. Probably a new option, opt-in. Some inspiration from https://github.com/Belco90/octoclairvoyant

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Renovate handles changelogs and release notes. Design a configuration option to combine semantic release notes from multiple updates. Look at the octoclairvoyant project for inspiration.
