Existing Release Automation Tools Have Narrow Platform and Language Support
Developers using release-automation tools like release-please, releaser-pleaser, release-plz, and git-cliff hit hard limits: single-forge lock-in (GitHub only), no monorepo support, single-language scope, or changelog-only output without tagging or releasing. This fragmentation forces teams onto multiple tools or custom scripts for multi-forge, multi-language, monorepo release workflows.
