Seems reasonable, but I'm not sure we use Github's release notes generator, so I don't know that this will have an effect. Will defer to others...

[bsipocz]

I've seen the bot PRs mentioned in previous changelogs, thus the PR :)

[stefanv]

@lagru We already exclude "dependabot[bot]" from the contributors list, but is there a way to ignore all those PRs as well?

As you see in this PR, GitHub has the changelog.exclude.authors configuration.

[lagru]

I don't think there is right now. But it's easy to add if you want this feature. In docstub I'm sorting these kind of PRs into a "DevOps" section, based on their label. But depending on how these bot PRs are labeled, you could parse them into their own section an then delete. But implementing the ignore feature would be probably cleaner.

I wonder if adding this file to the org level .github repo would make it affective for every repos; I didn't really get a clear answer to that question when asked it on the github maintainers' forum and the docs is useless.

[stefanv]

OK, so given that we don't use the GH generated list, this PR is probably not applicable here. @bsipocz Do you want to file it on the Scientific Python org .github? I don't know if it will work, but probably worth a try.

We have this feature coming in scientific-python/changelist#85
