@KOTungseth noticed that running the release notes script for 8.0 was throwing errors, this is because the GraphQL API is timing out on the requests to iterate the merged 8.0 pull requests. This is likely because there are many requests, and the API is a little sluggish, but implementing retries takes care of this as the requests are cached server side and follow up requests will eventually serve the cached responses.
