Missing commits in changelog when PRs are already open at release-please PR opening

[jake-rvs]

Environment details

• OS: Github Runner / Ubuntu 22.04.3
• Node.js version: 16
• npm version: n/a
• release-please version: Github Action v3

Steps to reproduce

Setup

• Have three branches-- development, staging, and main
• Have release-please set up to run against the staging branch
• We are squash-merging PRs and using merge commits to merge branches like development to staging / staging to main / etc.

1. Dev A creates a branch off of development -- fix/test-1
2. Dev B creates a branch off of development -- fix/test-2
3. fix/test-1 is squash-merged to development
4. It is release time-- development is merged to staging
5. release-please runs against staging and generates release notes
6. Development continues on the development branch
7. fix/test-2 is ready and is squash-merged to development
8. Once QA approves the release, the release PR is merged to staging
9. staging is merged into main
10. main is merged back into development
11. Create another branch off of development -- fix/test-3
12. squash-merge fix/test-3 to development
13. merge development to staging and wait for release-please to generate a PR

That PR will not have fix/test-2-- it appears that any PRs that are opened after we push to staging and the release-please action runs, but before we merge that PR to staging are not picked up by release-please on the next release.

Any suggestions on what might be going wrong here??

@jake-rvs: Hey, I have similar issue. Did you find any solution?

[jake-rvs]

Probably not ideal, but the solution I ended up going with was not to do the thing I mentioned in the end of my comment-- specifically, make sure that you don't open any PRs after you push to your staging or similar branch and before you merge the release-please generated PRs.
