Feature request: Filter commits by author before generating release notes #906

Is there a native way to exclude commits by author email before generating release notes?

I need to filter out commits from specific authors (e.g., automated bot commits or subtree merge commits) so they don't appear in the changelog.

Currently using a custom wrapper plugin to filter context.commits before passing to generateNotes, but wondering if there's a built-in configuration option I'm missing.

Example use case: Exclude commits from [email protected] from CHANGELOG.md and Release notes while keeping them in git history.
