Yes, I see that now, thx.

What would be the best way of receiving only these release notes?
Some background, I'd like to have a security team being aware of
available security updates for software that is used.
The way to achieve this varies per software, some have dedicated
security announcement lists (ideal as this is exactly the information
that is needed).
For some you can "watch" their "Security alerts" or "Releases" on
github.com (also OK). For example:

https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/security/advisories
https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases/tag/v2.27.1

But for ansible, neither of these appear to contain actual content:

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/releases/tag/v2.11.1
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/security/advisories.

Subscribing the security team to _this_ list isn't practical because
the volume is too high.

Using/populating the relevant github "Release" data would already be a
big improvement

thx
