Description

I know it might not be simple to achieve, esp. if those are generated in fully automated way, but it would be nice to have a bit more info, as well as a bit less noise, in the github release notes - "Updated Dependencies" section.

A few examples:

Nextcloud dependency update by @github-actions[bot] in https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one/pull/8485 => The most important one, I think. It should mention the new version of NC, with a link to its release notes

watchtower container update by @github-actions[bot] in https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one/pull/8478 => This one could also mention the version of watchtower included, with possibly a link to its release notes

Helm Chart updates by @github-actions[bot] in https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one/pull/8488 => I think that this one could not even be part of the release notes, or it should be in a different section, as its meaning is, if I get it right, that the helm-chart which is part of AIO got updated to use the latest versions of the containers, and that is kind of a downstream change, not an upstream one
