@JuanPedroGHM have we got a fitting label for these changes re: auto-generated changelog? I was going to suggest array-API. Also, I'm thinking we need some kind of roadblock for when we're about to merge a PR that hasn't been labelled properly.

Switched base branch from main to release/1.2.x so we can release this sooner.
