When I am reading Django's release notes, sometimes I come across
something where I want to know how (or why) it was implemented, read the
reasoning behind it, stuff like that. Or maybe I come across something
where I want to change how it works - for example
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/releases/5.1/#django-contrib-admin
this feature] doesn't work super well for me and I want to know what code
to look at to know how I might change this. If the release notes would
point to a ticket and/or a PR I could immediately see where to start.

I think it would be super helpful to link to the ticket and/or PR that
implemented the feature. No idea how complex that would be?

Comment:

Hi Kevin, thank you for the proposal
It would be better to raise this on the
[https://forum.djangoproject.com/c/internals/5 Django Forum] as this needs
a discussion and agreement with the community

I will close the ticket for now but if there is agreement to add this in
after a discussion, please come back and reopen the ticket

Some hopefully useful information - we add ticket links to the monthly
patch releases, see
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/releases/5.1.1/#bugfixes Django
5.1.1], and this [https://groups.google.com/g/django-
developers/c/nLhbBeztBaw/m/mu_JAwlCAQAJ django-developer discussion] is
also relevant I think.
