• NWO: All version numbers should be tagged (automatically or manually) proposals#178 with implementation Version source tagging (automatic and manual) for version_added and deprecation versions ansible#69680

[felixfontein]

• Use antsibull-changelog instead of packaged changelog generator ansible#69313 (name of changelog generator will change, this is mainly the question whether ansible/ansible is willing to use the new one instead of sticking to the one in ansible/ansible it's now called antsibull-changelog, part of antsibull, and now also installable from pypi)

• Plugin/module docs: parse return values, add collection names in them (version_added_collection), and format them nicely in ansible-doc ansible#69796 parse return docs at same place where module docstring is parsed (and tag versions in it). Q: make invalid return YAML also an error, or soft-fail?
