ENH: report the issue back on the status page

[bsipocz]

would be nice to have a way for a hover over or else to see the actual issue with the changelog, without needing to click to the full log.

Next time you see this again, can you please post a screenshot for clarity? Thanks!

Here you are, this is what I see on astropy/pyvo#465 without the proper label. Then of course the log tells me what its problem actually is:

 PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3.8
WARNING: Invalid version string: 0.7rc1 (2018-02-18)
Changelog entry not present, (or PR number missing) and neither the **Affects-dev** nor the **no-changelog-entry-needed** label is set.

Okay, thanks! Right now, it is just a simple print:

action-check-changelogfile/check_changelog.py

Line 75 in 427b256

print(f'Cannot check for consistency of change log in {version} since '

To get fancy details, the way we implemented it, maybe can use https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/rest/checks/runs?apiVersion=2022-11-28#create-a-check-run ? Or if you prefer GraphQL, https://docs.github.com/en/graphql/reference/objects#checkrun ?

I think it was implemented to some degree (using REST API) in baldrick but we do not use that here:

Ah, since we use PyGithub, maybe this is more relevant though we need to pass in some SHA from the pull request object:

I looked at the script again and to properly support this, might as well refactor from simple Python script to a proper Actions calls but I don't have time to do it.
