Make scopes and types YAML lists

[jszwedko]

Hey all,

We'd like to have comments around our lists of types and scopes but because they are YAML scalars, this isn't possible. For example, we'd like to write:

        with:
          types: |
            chore               # An internal change this is not observable by users.
            enhancement         # Any user observable enhancement to an existing feature.

But the comments are included in the scalar.

Ideally we could provide the types and scopes as actual lists like:

        with:
          types: |
          - chore               # An internal change this is not observable by users.
          - enhancement         # Any user observable enhancement to an existing feature.

Is there a reason the types and scopes are newline delimited strings rather than being YAML lists? Would you be open to a (breaking) PR changing that?

Hi and thanks for your request! As far as I know GitHub actions don't support arrays as input parameters, that's why we went with the multiline strings. Can you confirm?

I see that comments are useful though, so I'd be open to remove them during parsing if you'd like to contribute this feature.
