Feature request

Requesting the Conventional Commits spec to support multiple scopes. eg.:

type(scope1,scope2): message

Use case

Some features/fixes may at times require multiple packages to be changed and this approach allows all affected scopes to be listed.

I think a different syntax can be developed for that and also be documented in the spec. Perhaps `type(scope1->scope2)` or `type(scope1>scope2)`

@bcoe Was there a meeting about this? What was the outcome? It looks like support was added in action-semantic-pull-request but I don't see any mention of multiple scopes in the conventionalcommits spec.

Bumping this. It looks like conventional-changelog has supported this for a while now, but it's not mentioned on conventional-commits.org.

This one looks interesting to me, could address the situation where for a BC I want to update multiple packages at the same time.
@bcoe i think this one should be mentioned, any bad feeling regarding this?

Hi all,
Any update on this?
This could be a great addition, specially in #monorepo projects...
