A bit more than that but yes, I used it to:
- Bump the package version
- Fetch the new tarball hash
- Download the new tarball
- Check for changes in the copyright file
- Generate the commit title
- Build the list of CVEs fixed in this release based on the release notes
- Generate the commit message from the list

Even though it's not a daunting task, in this case building the list of CVEs is probably the one that's the hardest to do in a generic way.
The CVEs are mentioned in the release notes ([1]) but they are scattered across the text which means, short of copy-pasting them one by one, a bit of scripting specific to this page is needed to retrieve them all.
They are also available from a news post in a way that's easier to use ([2]), but from that post I don't find it immediately clear whether all 28 CVEs affected each release mentioned, or only some of them.

So I wanted to see if Claude could help me in this case and it did.
Of course I still hand-checked the result, as I would do regardless of how the change was produced.

Since I used an LLM to help me, I preferred to make it explicit in the commit message.
I could mention it in a free-form instead of using a tag, but since this tag exists elsewhere I thought why not use it instead.


Kind regards,

Raphaël
