Additional categories
As I run through different OSS projects it seems they often have the following categories of changes: features, bugs, chores. I also feel like I commonly see docs although I'm not normally interested in that, but others may be; or that fits under chores and relies on the users to mark it like chores: docs: ....
I know the current categories are verbiage actions, but it could be nice to support the above categories. I'm not sure if this is a specification or another release management tool that includes these.
Looking around I found this: https://github.com/googleapis/release-please I couldn't find a nice example in this week's dependabot PRs though.
It's interesting to note that they have a category suffix of ! which denotes it as a breaking change 🤔 this could also be a nice feature to support.
It seems Axios uses the verbiage of: fixed changed, chores, refactors, I'm not sure what else exactly, or how they manage this.

The contributors section is a nice touch too.
Coincidentally the latest release of theirs shows a bit of how they manage this stuff: https://github.com/axios/axios/pull/5397/files
I guess they're rolling their own tooling, but it's still interesting to see how they're handling it.
Also looks like they're leveraging auto-changelog.
