Not sure it is what you need, but just in case, there is:

https://github.com/chriscool/getreleases

that we use to automatically generate release information that we publish in our Git Rev News newsletter:

https://git.github.io/rev_news/archive/

You can use it like this:

$ ./get_releases.py --get "Git" --exact --since 2025-07-24 Getting releases for exactly "Git" since 2025-07-24

+ Git [2.51.0](https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqikikk1hr.fsf@gitster.g/),
[2.51.0-rc2](https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqh5ybcfwt.fsf@gitster.g/),
[2.51.0-rc1](https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqikizoybn.fsf@gitster.g/),
[2.51.0-rc0](https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqms8f5889.fsf@gitster.g/

The URL for each release points to the announcement email on the mailing list archive. That email contains the release notes.
