Possibility to turn this into a reusable plugin with semantic-release (core)?

[manuschillerdev]

New feature motivation

In my understanding, semantic-release-plus always needs to catch up with semantic-release when the upstream version changes. A reusable plugin for filtering commits by path in monorepos would probably be a very robust solution for a common problem. Would that be feasible?

New feature description

The possibility to filter commits by path is one of the core features of semantic-release-plus. If it were possible to extract the functionality this would be a super cool feature for the semantic-release ecosystem.

New feature implementation

Extract the functionality to filter relevant commits by path into a reusable plugin with semantic-release.
I am not sure if this is possible at all or what would need to be done implementation-wise.

I agree, and it's been almost a year since you wrote this, Initially I tried very hard to get the upstream semantic-release to incorporate my changes but alas they were not interested in supporting a monorepo, and at the time the structure of the code with plugins did not provide a way to filter commits in a plugin. There are really only 2 parts that would need to be extracted and integrated into the core of semantic-release

1. The filter mechanism
2. The generating and retrieving git notes needs to be specific per release

The filter Mechanism is in this repo but I think 2 is only in my alpha branch which is located at semantic-release-plus/semantic-release-plus

My current job has started using semantic-release-plus so I will start making updates. It might be worth the effort to see if the upstream mentality has changed but previously they were not interested in the monorepo support.
