Description
I'm using the manifest releaser along with the node-workspaces plugin in a monorepo with 40-odd packages.
During the release process, any sibling packages in the monorepo that depend on each other have that dependency updated when the sibling changes, a git tag is created for the release and the new version is published to npm, which is what we want.
Is it possible to configure skipping the creation of a GitHub release for a monorepo package release when all that release contains is dependency updates?
The reason is the GitHub releases page becomes totally unusable - the documentation for what features/bug fixes are contained in a release of one monorepo package is buried under loads of releases that are just reporting patch updates of monorepo sibling deps.
