Description

In the last release meeting (https://github.com/nodejs/Release/issues/564) we discussed altering the layout of our changelogs.

  • Ideal if the author could write the notable change section, but unlikely to happen based on the usage of the notable change label.
  • Suggestion to create a Google doc to collaborate on notable changes.
  • Suggestion to separate out test changes, and some doc changes to make the changelog more readable for end users.
  • Remove labels from individual commits that are not major or minor.
  • Suggestion to add semverness to the commit message.
