Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked Angular DEVELOPERS.md Git commit guidelines and the semantic-release project referenced in the issue. Determine whether this repository has an existing contributor or release-guidelines document to update; done means the desired commit format and any changelog or semantic-versioning expectations are explicitly documented.

Description

best practices enhancement question

eg, Git commit guidelines.

There is some value already in converging in the format of commit messages alone.

But also, by doing that, we could at some point adopt tools that process and digest the commit history of a project to produce automated changelogs and/or decide the next semantic version to be published (eg, semantic-release).
