@jetersen@oleg-nenashev Any chance to have a review for this? We need this for Apache Maven projects. Thanks |
I don't think I'm a maintainer as of now, but added it to my review backlog. Optimistically, on the weekend |

@slawekjaranowski looks like the change doesn't get much attention on the other side I cannot see activity even for the main branch during the last 6 months maybe this repository is not maintained anymore. |
I would not like to use my private fork for ASF project it can be under control ... As workaround I can create and orphan branch inmaven-gh-actions-shared project is widely used ... it will be sad if will be abandoned |

For a repository with a long history, it can block generating release notes due to timeout or due to too long release notes.
It will be useful for projects which continue release from many branches.
Together with commitish filtering in each new branches we can simply add such date of branch starts.
