Generate changelogs and release notes from a project's commit messages and metadata

See original GitHub issue

New Feature Proposal

Description

Generate changelogs and release notes from a project’s commit messages and metadata https://github.com/conventional-changelog/conventional-changelog

Background

I always forget changing CHANGELOG.md file and I believe I’m not alone in it. It would be great to update this file automatically based on git history (commit messages) once a new release supposed to be delivered.

I think we definitely could and should improve our commit messages, as we(at least I) usually don’t put much thought in them. commitlint could be good starting point. I still see value in having separate changelog, as not every commit message needs to be added as changelog entry, but if we start creating good commit messages, then maybe we can revisit this
