It doesn't quite sound like enough work.  You will want to identify a
set of tasks that you can work on either incrementally to continue
improving the release notes generator. One idea could be around
license compliance such as auditing license information and creating a
manifest for a release, which might be useful

And evaluating/fixing the MD support or other possible output formats
for release notes. (Plaintext? Structured/Parseable Document e.g.,
XML?)

As you write the proposal you may come up with some more ideas, and so
might the potential mentors/community members.
