Hopefully this is relevant. There are useful tools like git-cliff for automating changelog generation.

I think that one we have some automation to catch?

Is there something in our release tooling that cross-checks all the weakly linked metadata today: Milestone marked (or more often: not) on an issue vs commits to the respective branches vs location in Lucene's CHANGES.txt vs open/closed issue matching the linked PRs? It seems like some simple automation here could catch mistakes. E.g. I'm uncertain I properly moved all the FST related CHANGES.txt entries to the right places.
