4. Since each release is produced automatically from a single pull request, the [notice](https://common-changelog.org/#23-notice) links to the source pull request rather than [references](https://common-changelog.org/#242-references), which would always reference the same pull request. References can link to relevant parts of an RFC, decision record, or diff. **This notice is automatically generated by the CI during the release process and should not be added manually.**

5. The [notice](https://common-changelog.org/#23-notice) is also used to present sponsor information and it is required. Since the development of this project is funded by different actors, and following discussions with sponsors, financial contributions are acknowledged in the changelog itself. The format of the notice thus diverges from the Common Changelog specification in that it is not “a single-sentence paragraph”. Sponsor information is in quote format, starts with “Development of this release was supported by <funding_from>”, and provides the name and link to the sponsor, as well as information on the specific funding instrument, as specified by the sponsor itself or as required by law. A short message from the sponsor might also be added, as long as it abides by the community’s [Code of Conduct](./CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) and aligns with the project’s goals. For volunteer contributions, the sentence should start with: “Development of this release was made on a volunteer basis by <contributor_name>”
