This is the current output (massively shortened for here) - note that
I added "previous_tag_name=7.8.6" as the point-in-time to start the
Changelog:

gh api repos/OSGeo/grass/releases/generate-notes -f tag_name="8.0.0"
-f previous_tag_name=7.8.6 -f target_commitish=releasebranch_8_0 -q

**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/compare/7.8.6...8.0.0


I'd like to see the first PR block sorted by characters, i.e.
alphabetically. Then it's easier to transfer it into the topical
"blocks" we have in the trac Wiki.

This is the documentation:
https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_api
https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/repos#generate-release-notes-content-for-a-release

but I don't see how, perhaps a new file '.github/release.yaml' is needed?
