Research direction

Start by tracing how semantic-release currently posts release notes to merged GitLab MRs, then compare that flow with the commit that produced the release. Confirm whether GitLab supports posting the same note to that commit and identify the relevant integration entry point. Done means the release note is also posted on the source commit, with existing MR comments preserved.

Description

feature

We are using semantic-release on our Gitlab hosted environment to deploy packages to great effect.

In our case however there is one difference, the code is generated and pushed to the repository as commits on master, and we would like to see what version of the package was deployed on every commit from which the release is made.

Sometimes when changes need to be manually added they are done as MR, and we do see the release notes getting commented on the merged MRs.

Is there a way to get the same note pushed as comment on the commit as well?
