Cherry-picked from googleapis#2624 by @rabadin. This adds support for mapping arbitrary commit prefixes (including empty string for non-conventional commits) to conventional commit types. Example config: { "extra-prefix-mapping": { "": "chore" } } This treats all non-conventional commits as 'chore' type, ensuring they are included in releases instead of being silently ignored.
…nventional commit types Add `extra-prefix-mapping` configuration to map arbitrary commit prefixes to conventional commit types, enabling flexible handling of various commit message conventions. This change enables release-please to handle various commit message conventions by providing a flexible mapping mechanism. Key use cases include: - **Emoji-based commits**: Map emoji prefixes (e.g., 🐛, ✨, 📝) to conventional types when using workflows like [gitmoji](https://github.com/arvinxx/gitmoji-commit-workflow) - **Custom commit prefixes**: Map organization-specific prefixes (e.g., "change:", "update:") to conventional types - **Legacy code integration**: Handle non-conventional commits when merging legacy codebases by mapping the empty string ("") to a default type Fully backward compatible - feature disabled by default. Fixes googleapis#2623. Fixes googleapis#2385.
