This is just an example, but there really needs to be a way to make sure they post a proper changelog… Like, is there a limitation on characters? Can’t we set up a way to import the release notes from Github? Why is it this way?

      Even if the commit message is concise, there is a difference between what the patch does on a technical level and what the end user will see as a result.

      IMO the solution is to link each commit to an issue or a ticket - some high-level description of the feature the commit implements - but there still has to be someone who makes the effort of making sure each commit is linked to a ticket and who nags the devs when they forget to do so…
