Owner

Currently the release body is only populated with deb/rpm install instructions. The annotated tag message (which typically contains the changelog generated by set-tag) is never retrieved or passed through to the Forgejo release.

The enhancement should:

Retrieve the annotated tag message (e.g. via git tag -l --format=%(contents) <tag>).
Include it in ri.Description when creating the release, prepended before any install instructions.

This makes the changelog visible directly on the Forgejo release page.
