Description

There has been frequent discussion about wanting to enforce we keep semantic information about changes in PRs, such as how Facebook has their changelog format.

Given our current tooling, this sort of bit could make sense to add as a feature to Beachball, the Microsoft OSS change management tool we use (that is open to PRs). We could force tagging in certain packages, and offer a list of them to choose from.

Research direction

Start by examining the yarn change command and how the repository currently uses Beachball for change management. Define the category list, package-specific enforcement rules, and the expected selection flow; done means semantic change information can be required and selected for applicable packages.
