Noise on issues/PRs from Renovate PR changelog links

[edmorley]

What Renovate type are you using?
Renovate GitHub App

Describe the bug
The filtering of changelog entries in Renovate PR descriptions to ensure that they don't cause issue backlinks isn't always working, in that:

• the issues still get linked with a real link (rather than the redirect domain), so cause linkback spam on the issues in question
• (less important) the formatting of the changelog ends up broken

To Reproduce
Follow one of the issues linked in the Renovate PR here:
mozilla/treeherder#4472

...eg:
jsx-eslint/eslint-plugin-react#2131

...and see all of the links backs that are from Renovate.

Expected behavior
The changelog section rewritten to use the togithub.com redirect domain.

@edmorley thanks for raising this, I'll look into it immediately. I have no idea why our de-linking would not be working all of a sudden

[edmorley]

Thank you :-)

I'm guessing it's due to the use of the reference link style?

@edmorley yes I think you're exactly right

[rarkins]

This fix should be rolled out to the app shortly. As you're probably aware though, even once we update the PRs across github.com, it doesn't unlink any of the existing "link spam" so it will only help for future PRs.

[edmorley]

Amazing - thank you for the quick response!
