Rule for forcing commit body

Hi,

It seems like there is not a rule for forcing a message in the commit body.

I took a look here but only found the body-min-length rule.

At first I thought I could force adding something to the body by enabling the rule and setting a minimum length of, let’s say 5. But it seems like the rule does not apply if the commit body is left completely empty.

Are there any thoughts on implementing a body-exists rule?

to my knowledge there are rules for this already

https://github.com/conventional-changelog/commitlint/blob/master/%40commitlint/rules/src/footer-empty.ts https://github.com/conventional-changelog/commitlint/blob/master/%40commitlint/rules/src/body-empty.ts

it looks like we are missing them in documentation

the same as we have scope-empty, subject-empty we need to have body-empty rule. In my use case, the body is mandatory, but currently, I am not able to enforce this.
