They're just quickbook templates defined for the release notes, you
can do the same in your own documentation. You can see the definitions
at:

https://github.com/boostorg/website/blob/712117cf664d99efe76539fa180a44c7bacd78ef/feed/ext.qbk#L48

They use escaped docbook because older versions of quickbook didn't
support template parameters in links. Quickbook 1.7 does (you're using
it if you have a [quickbook 1.7] tag at the start of your file), so
they're easier to define there, I've attached an example.
