I'm still trying to root cause and find out if we can fix these notes up automatically. For the recent CAPV release it looks like:
The note with no PR linked is this one: kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api-provider-vsphere#1819.
- ERROR: BODY MISSING. FIX MANUALLY
- ERROR: BODY MISSING. FIX MANUALLY (#2147)
- ERROR: BODY MISSING. FIX MANUALLY (#2166)
- ERROR: BODY MISSING. FIX MANUALLY (#2176)

The three that have PRs references:
- 🌱 Deprecate v1alpha3 and v1alpha4 apiVersions cluster-api-provider-vsphere#2166
- 🌱 Bump golang.org/x/tools from 0.11.1 to 0.12.0 cluster-api-provider-vsphere#2176
- 📖 Update release documentation & add release issue template cluster-api-provider-vsphere#2147
All appear to have been merged manually.
Not sure what happened with kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api-provider-vsphere#1819 but it has a very different merge commit: Merge branch 'kubernetes-sigs:main' into 1162

Oh damn. Yeah that was me to unblock some Prow stuff (CI was green before I did it :))

But I think naadir might have also done some manual merges when prow was off - wonder if there's a way you did it that made the history come out weird.
I don't think we have to worry about this too much though - fine with having a best-effort warning until this becomes a constant problem. CAPI history seems fine.

I assume the problem is if the description is left empty (what I did)

But it's fine. Just thought let's add some info if it's easily available. (but didn't know if the info is easily available or not :D)

How did you figure out it was this PR?

The issue is that the body is empty at the point the notes are generated. We could try to detect that a bit earlier, but it would involve either refactoring or looping through all the commits. IMO it's not worth doing unless this happens again - which this change will signal.

I was guessing (without looking at the code) that when we have the body here we should also have the corresponding commit id close by :D

Add a warning to the release notes tool when a release note can not be generated at all - i.e. when the body is empty. We noticed this error when using the release tool to generate notes for the Cluster API provider for CAPV.
This error hasn't occured in releases of CAPI AFAICT. Running
go run ./hack/tools/release/notes.go --from=v1.4.0doesn't produce any errors.
