Release Notes page lists commit ids, but does not link to code

[ChristophMatthies]

Current State

• Release Notes page lists commit ids, but does not link to code
• Commit ids without links to GH require manual effort to trace

Expected State

Either:

• Remove commit ids

• (Preferred) Ensure original links to exact GH commits are preserved while creating Release Notes page

• Should the Release Notes page link to the PRs instead of commits?
