For anyone using conventional commits I highly recommend adding Semantic Releases to your pipeline: https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release
I'm always scared when adding automation around manual inputs that people won't follow the proper syntax and screw everything.
My previous job was to write official documents for engineering changes in an aerospace company, standardized English and everything. Even with the really strict guideline we had typos, self-inculpating wordage and the likes quite often.
Automation doesn't have to be 100%. You can just use the generated change log as starting point and follow your usual process.
