What you expected to see, versus what you actually saw

We have a private GitHub repo publishing maven artifacts and using GitHub release notes.

If we consume these maven artifacts from another private repo, the new PR from dependabot does not contain the releases notes that are stored in the GitHub release notes.

Any news with this?

I faced the same issue and tried to add the GitHub repository as a registry too.
No changes here. Dependabot run again, updating an already created PR, but did not add the release notes.

Found this #3053, but this didn't mention Maven.
