Include a link to the upgraded project in the PR

... in a perfect world to its release notes.

Good idea, @ennru. Do you have an idea how to obtain the URL of the website or the release notes from maven coordinates (groupId,artifactId, and a version) because currently that is the only thing the bot knows about a dependency. Any suggestions are welcome.

I think you'd have to use Scaladex as your information source, Scaladex knows this kind of thing

Do you have access to the pom.xml? If the SCM section points to Github, you could point to the Releases tab.

[fthomas]

sbt-updates does not download the pom.xml but only the maven-metadata.xml which just contains the versions. But I could fetch the pom.xml with coursier via coursier fetch -A pom $groupId:$artifactId:$version. This should work for all public dependencies.

It would be great if scala-steward could include release notes in the description of the PR, similarly to how dependabot does it - see the screenshot below for a reference:

This data is fetched from Github releases, so we could use it for projects which use this feature and provide any release notes. This feature would be quite cool, I'd be happy to contribute this if that's something you would be keen on having in scala-steward, @fthomas.

That would be awesome, @mwz!
