Consider adding a changelog or useful notes to Github releases

Is your feature request related to a problem?

This is not really a feature request for the helm charts, but the repo itself. When operating a cluster, we have to check changelogs of all the applications we are running to ensure there are no breaking changes or changes that would affect how we operate the application.

We are now also using Renovate to automate helm upgrades (via PRs) to our Pulumi managed EKS clusters and this repo does not include either a CHANGELOG.md file anywhere and the Github releases do not include any useful information about what was actually released. Adding either of these will ease the burden of checking all commits between versions.

Is your feature request related to a specific Helm chart, if yes mention name of the chart?
aws-load-balancer-controller is the main pain point for us right now.

Describe the solution you'd like
Generation of a changelog file for each chart or a release for each chart version bump so that humans can discover what has changed more easily and automated tools like Renovate can read them and populate PRs.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Going through the commits between version bumps on the helm chart I am concerned with. A very tedious process. If there is another way, I am all ears.

I support this opinion. Renovate just sent a PR updating the ALB controller, but we don't have idea what are the changes! 😨
