No.
The commit messages are per-commit hints to what changed why, from
and for a developer's point of view. They’re *not* generally suitable
as a human-readable summary of changes for end users.
Not having upstream changelogs/news is actually the common case,
no need to act upon it, and *especially* not to “generate” one as
downstream.
