Feature description

Currently, Changelogs / Release notes are fetched for public Terraform modules hosted on registry.terraform.io.
Unfortunately, that's not working for private modules hosted on Terraform Cloud app.terraform.io.

I saw the same problem with renovate bot and started this discussion there: renovatebot/renovate#21297 (reply in thread)
TL;DR: There's an "extended API" responding with more information, including the source of the Terraform module, available in public and private terraform.io registry.
In renovatebot that's covered by a separate function calling this "extended API" https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/blob/cec928d7219a0cce10942867884096c7f5430365/lib/modules/datasource/terraform-module/index.ts#L80

Is this something which could also be implemented in dependabot to get changelogs for private Terraform modules?

👋 Thanks for reporting.

Yeah, this is something we should add support for.

I'm not sure how many users are actually impacted, my hunch is not that many, so although it's probably pretty straightforward to implement this might have to float for a bit unless someone from the community steps up with a PR. If anyone is interested, we'd happily review/answer any questions along the way.
